Apple has led the way with its design in the Music Player, OS, Phone, Tablet etc markets. Hardware wise they aren't great money for value but add in the design and ease of use and you have a leading product.
Many of the copiers haven't innovated at all they have just copied Apple's original work and many times missed the point of the Apple Designs.
I am not a great supporter of Patents but Apple has the right to try and protect its IP from cheap knockoffs.
Many of these companies would be much better off trying to work out Apples design DNA and innovate the market (not just copy).

Submission + - Remote Controlled Tanks you can drive over the net (rctiger.com)
bobby1234 writes: "A new type of online game has launched at www.rctiger.com that connects up Real Remote Controlled Tanks (1/24 Scale) to the internet. You can drive them around in real time and battle it out, even firing at other tanks straight through your browser. Wicked fun driving these things around. Something positively surreal about driving real hardware around via your internet connection.
They are European based so lag becomes a problem for some people. You have to pay to play but there is a complimentary (as in beer) weekend this weekend, were you can just log in and have a go. They aren't running 24x7 at the moment so you need to check out the front page for the session times.
Looks like they are streaming the games live via Justin.tv on their front page and there is a YouTube video showing how the game looks when you play.
Something quite unique and revolutionary!"
Comment Pay per Play (Score 1) 230
I have some friends that have put together a online game that uses remote controlled tanks.
They cannot use ads as they only have a few tanks. Sponsors... maybe but again stuck with low volume. So they are trying pay per play.
have a look at it http://www.rctiger.com/
great idea... not sure if it is going to work though!!
