An iPad design ripoff (complete with the JingPad Pencil) with fake images from a Chinese company.
That's a no from me.
That's a no from me.
Though really there are only so many variations on "flat rectangle with screen" you can do, it's hard to come up with an obvious design that isn't in use by someone.

Exactly, and of those variation only a subset are widely palatable. In other words solid, grey rectangles are kinda inevitable for what is essentially a consumer hand held computer display... It's like someone calling the concept of a loop a ripoff from C - no.
It is kind of notably how the JingPad looks like an iPad, but doesn't look like a Surface or Galaxy Tab or Lenovo Tab or Amazon Fire HD.
That is my point, C didn't "invent" for loops just like Apple didn't "invent" a near featureless rectangle.
But nether did Algol, for loops are the obvious next step for a conditional jump with a counter. In my analogy arguing about people copying Apple's iPad is like saying "look the syntax is more Algol-like than C-like", who cares, really... making simple and inevitable decisions doesn't mean people can own them and call it design, that's the child version of copyright "I have it so you can't have it".
