Samsung, a long time phone producer surely have several, parallel skunkwork
plans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_Works).
That is how all major electronic goods companies have worked for the last
decades. Everyone needs a backup plan.
But for newcomer Apple? Well, it is hard to tell, but they decidely copied ideas
from previous phone makers, e.g. Neonode
(http://www.dailytech.com/Analysis+Neonode+Patented+SwipetoUnlock+3+Years+Before
+Apple/article24046.htm). Here is a brief summary of an analysis:
"Thus Apple and Neonode's patented claims are virtually identical, other
than the graphics drag, which is covered via ubiquitous drag-and-drop prior art.
The difference? Neonode filed three years before Apple."
Apple has always been a sad oxymoron: Apple, cheap but expensive
