Sure, Google acquired Android several years earlier, and it\u2019s clear their target then was Microsoft, not Apple. The arrival of the iPhone changed everything. Does Schmidt he really expect people to believe that Apple doesn\u2019t innovate?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s easy to find telltale influences, or inspirations, in Apple\u2019s operating systems. The Window menu, for example, appeared in Windows ahead of the Mac OS. Being able to resize a document from all corners of the screen in Lion was also offered in Windows first, but I don\u2019t expect that Microsoft is ready to sue Apple for \u201cborrowing\u201d a few look end feel concepts. And, yes, the new Notification feature in iOS 5 was clearly inspired by the Android OS, but that\u2019s not nearly enough to justify Schmidt\u2019s claims that Apple doesn\u2019t innovate.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
