An open-source OS for devices, embeddable by third-parties for any phone, TVs, watches, etc? Not significant important for you? Sheesh, high standards.

Sure it did. Especially all those of features iOS copied from Android.

One more thing, don't try to make it sound like the iPhone was the first smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen because that would be the LG Prada.

>The LG KE850, also known as the LG Prada,[1] is a touchscreen mobile phone made by LG Electronics. It was first announced on 12 December 2006.[2] Images of the device appeared on websites such as Engadget Mobile on 15 December 2006.[3] An official press release showing an image of the device appeared on 18 January 2007.[1] Sales started in May 2007. It is the first mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen.[4] The KE850 sold 1 million units[5][6] in the first 18 months.[7]

Might be in the early days these days you see iPhone copying Android ideas.
