Hopes Apple gets the patent.. is similar to Android but is not the same.... besides Android does the same ... but is Android so it must be good...right?...

Considering that the USPTO has been more reasonable about patents recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this was denied.

Wasn't iOS notification center stolen from a guy on Cydia?

really?!? how about phonearena and all other sites stop doing articles on the senseless bickering between apple n samsung/whoever else they're suing now. maybe then all these flame wars can end in the comments or better yet make a section specifically for patent news and keep it away from the main section.

and my other question is, why is that last image of what looks like a G1 with apple notifications?

I thought notification tray is Samsung's innovatio because I have seen it in many bada series phones and also in touchwiz star phones....

Oh, USPTO, if you still have common sense, plese reject this request. But for Google, and every Android OEM, please don't sue Apple for using this feature, so we can name "stolen product" to iPhone/iOS, like they (SJ, Apple, and their fanboys) name to Android before. Let every Apple fanboys feel "Android flavour iOS", make their eyes open to see how beautiful is Android, and have them "a shame" when showing iPhone, and open its stolen notification center. What Google, and every Android OEM must do is to make massive advertisement to show how notification bar/center is in Android device many years ago before iOS 5. Let the world know who is the real thief.

What Apple does with its patents is they are pulling the developments back. I would say screw this pity patents, free competition and companies could seek patents for real REAL innovations only.
