Umm...there is nothing wrong with using open source, everything comes with a License, as long as you follow the license its all fair, the more people that can contribute to an OS the better it gets....for the record..M$ kernel is not 100% theirs either..they have licenses on many aspects of their OS and kernel...sure they built it from scratch, but its not 100% theirs either...right now there are so many patents for so many things its impossible to make anything without overlapping in some areas..

android was built based off linux (which makes linux-lunatics love it too) and also with STOLEN java code from oracle. they know they did this no matter how much they and all the other fandroids and linux-lunatics out there may deny it.
|
Again your completely misunderstanding...no one stole any code..the code was open source..not stolen...whats happening is license incompatibility..aka the GPL was not compatible with the Apache open source license..they are BOTH open source...its just a matter of license compatibility...

and iOS was built off the same principle as OS X which is based off unix, theses OSes are NOT even original.
|
Unix and Linux are open source..they are original in their own sense of having the entire world developing them..using them as a core is not a bad thing..an no one cares about "originality"..what we care about is things working properly..if a wheel works..why try to reinvent it? sure you can if you want to..but its not fair to blame others for using a wheel :/

the reason for such apps is to justify the browsers lack of power to access real webpages and once IE9 mobile comes out it will blow both the android and iOS browsers out of the water (just like IE9 desktop is currently doing with chrome,firefox and safari).
|
um..IE9 is a big step up..but in no way is it blowing the other browsers out of the water..each one has their strength..for one Chrome is only browser that has came out unhackable...for now...and FireFox 4 is already on Android and Maemo which is on par with IE9 which still isn't out for mobile..
