I don't disagree. I'm GLAD Google stole from Apple. My only issue is with those who deny that's what happened. That's disrespectful to the innovation represented by the iPhone.
If you develop a useful UI paradigm or technology, I may make use of it if it is fitting.
The time when "stole" seems appropriate is if Google stole the design from a non-public version of the iPhone. Which maybe did happen (via Schmidt), but that's generally not what people are referring to when they use the term.
