LG Prada Phone vs. Apple iPhone: Which came first?

There seems to be a lot of arguing about which came first: Apple's iPhone or the LG Prada phone. When news that Woo-Young Kwak, Head of Mobile Handset R&D at LG, claimed that Apple copied their LG Prada phone hit, everyone started to talk.

Let's face it. Apple's iPhone and LG's Prada phone are not the first phones with a touch screen and won't be the last. Before you know it, every cell phone manufacturer will have a touch screen because not only is it trendy but it's the future of the handset interface. It would be silly to think that other phones WOULDN'T have one.

Aesthetically, sure, they look the same, but aesthetics aside the phones are extremely different, pardon the pun, to their core. There are a lot of phones out there that look alike but using them is like night and day. My older Sam Sung flip phone might have looked similar to my older Motorola V60, but the Sam Sung interface and speed was light years ahead of the Motorola.

The bottom line in this issue isn't which came first but which one is easier to use and better as a phone? Only time will tell as neither phones are released yet. We're betting on Apple.
