I did *NOT* take it off-topic, it was for Windows Phone vs Android in terms of copying, you brought in a dozen other operating systems.
And the photo clearly say "NFC payments" not just NFC, Android is one of the first operating systems to introduce that years before iOS.
Blackberry Hub is vert different from a proper notification center, there are very slim chances that a notification centre originated from there, and I don't understand why you don't stick to your original argument? You said that *SYMBIAN* got it first, why bring Blackberry into this at all?
As far as predictive I don't see it happening on that phone, and battery stats and data stats on Android are way different from that simple widget.

Yes the above two battery and data stats are what Windows Phone copied in Windows Phone 8.1, and iOS has copied as well. But still Android does it better than both of them(in most aspects).
The rest of the IR blaster and the other stuff may have originated in other phones, I didn't make that photo and the OP may have made a mistake, but just look at how much of that is made by Android.
I would firstly like to apologize for not making myself clear enough, I didn't mean to say iPhone was the first touchscreen device but it initiated the revolution.
Prior to the iPhone there we're touchscreen devices (I've used them) but they weren't complete in one way or the other, and all the people around me that had used one of those older touchscreen devices simply left them.
Android was originally designed to be on phones with a Blackberry like form factor, because iPhone came out and Google saw that touchscreen devices had potential(so did Microsoft in a few years) and quickly updated their OSes to support touchscreens.
However no one knows what Android had, prior to Google purchasing it, it was a project started in 2003(if I am not wrong).
As far as Android devices having copied iPhone or iOS, I never denied that but your point was that Android gained most of it's popularity from copying iOS and iPhone, that was completely untrue.
And from the photos you've posted I would like to point out three things:
1) The first LG device of which you've posted a photo of, according to GSMArena, did *NOT* run Android.
2) A lot of these phones we're not launched during when Android started up(this was your original argument).
3) Many of these phones we're made by OEMs like Micromax, or other lesser known brands. The "lesser known brands" don't count because you said that Android gains its success originally from copying iPhone and iOS designs, these OEMs appeared later and WE'RE NOT very successful in promoting Android when they came out.
4) Some of the above photos are total nonsense, I mean the HTC One has so many differences from the iPhone. Just to name a few, camera placement, more metal, front firing speakers, two bars on the top and bottom back sides, etc.
5) One of the articles by Geek.com that says that iOS copied the lockscreen and multitasking from Windows Phone is total BS.

First of all, multitasking came from WebOS design, that's where Windows Phone and iOS copied it, here's a video:

Btw the lockscreens look very different, he just applied a similar wallpaper, but still it's different because of the camera shortcut, arrows on top and botton, clock placement, swipe right to unlock, etc.
If anything iOS 7 copied a little bit of design from Windows Phone, but in both iOS 7 and 8 it mostly copied from Android.

And plus if you think that any OS got the notification center before Android, please show proof. And a notification center means not just notifications from one app, or notifications in an app, it should be a genuine pull down(or some other easy method) kind of notification center that displays notification from most(if not all) applications. If you both find to fail something like this, please stop trolling.
