It's bad enough when the Microtards copy our ideas and put them into their products. Now Nokia is doing it too. Much love to all the readers who sent in this video and this link to Engadget's take on this preposterous rip-off. Have no fear, Apple faithful. Our lawyers are already all over these crafty Finns.
Anyway, at least we're the one in front, being copied and chased. Unless you're the lead dog all you see is another dog's ass, as they say in Alaska.

Tor Suksivittuun is James Duncan Davidson's brother-in-law, by the way. James learned all he knows about photography from Tor during long camping trips in Norrbotten.
Yikers.
Is that the new Nokia nPhone??
Skøü Jaaarsagaarde is their lead developer - he must have worked at Apple.
Why do these frigtards always make us watch a screen shot of something loading? Like in the horrid Zune ads, the only time the camera rests on a shot of the Zune, it's "processing" something, and not performing. IDIOTS! "I know what will make them want to buy it -- lets show them how long you have to wait while you upload photos sot flickr!" rrrggghhhhh
Dear FSJ,
If Nokia is the new Microsoft, then this version of Symbian is the new Windows 95.
What prevents Nokia from releasing a cheaper clone, thereby destroying the iPhone market? Lawyers?
Perhaps a better way is to open the iPhone to all those super-creative indie OS X developers who are chomping at the bit to create innovative mobile apps.
FSJ, what say you?
You do know "Suksi vittuun" means piss off / get the fuck outta here in Finnish...
Like these teenagers of today say: ROFLMAO!!!
;)
Umm, i can smell a juicy lawsuit against Nokia... 200 + patents on the iPhone...Time to use them. ort better yet, let them start production, then sue and watch them lose billions. :P
Hmm - rip off - sure, because any billion dollar company overnight can completely redesign a phone to work like iPhone, work through all testing, then ramp up production. These phone manufacturers are known for being so nimble. Or, could it possibly be that two engineering teams on this planet can have similar ideas on moving phones past simplistic menu systems we've been using for about a decade? Finally, lets forget that Apple's earliest engineering marvels are rooted in "stolen" ideas.
The main difference being that if you are a dog in Alaska seeing another dog's ass in Alaska, you are not capable of suing the dog's ass because you want to do anything to hobble that lead dog and slow it down.
osku - BRAVO!!!
Good work my friend, good work...
oh joy, another day when I have spit tea on my keyboard. Class action suit coming up:
"Plaintiff contests that FSJ was going through a fallow patch after being outed, and therefore the first party in the first part was not expecting anything funny enough to engender beverage expectoration on input device. Therefore, without due notice that FSJ was funny again, plaintiff claims that FSJ is in breach of some shit law (or a patent? yes that's good.) AND A PATENT. That means plaintiff gets a shitload of money and a new keyboard."
Yeah, but they don't have this:

Yeah, well, but they don't have this:

Did anyone notice that the lady touched one area of the phone and another area responded? I think the video is a fake. There was a transition point in the middle of it where there was some editing. I don't know what it means but it could simply be a video on the phone showing the interface and the lady was trained to click in certain areas and turn the phone at the right time.
Anyhoo, lame. The look is just lame looking.
Dude, Nokia is from Sweden!!
Wait a freaking minute. I thought serious multifunction phones needed buttons and keys. Isn't that what everyone's being harshing the vibe over for the last 3 months?
Besides a user replaceable battery of course.
You forgot how much apple paid for stealing a patent from Creative?
Or how Apple rip-off Xerox OS?
Dude, Apple never ripped-off the Xerox OS. Xerox asked for it. They were begging for it. They were so desperate that they invited Steve to take a tour through their research lab.
It was hard work by Apple to change it in many ways so that actually some customers wanted to buy it. It took even Apple two iterations.
