Attack of the iPhonies

But Apple's design prowess reaches beyond the ranks of clones. The iPod and iPhone have also influenced--in more general ways--the designs of Apple's gadget-making competitors around the world. For example, if you look closely, you can see a lot of iPhone in Samsung's YP-P2 Slim Portable Media Player ($230). Check out the "bar phone" shape of the 8GB product; the size, shape, and color of the icons on the touch screen, and the 3-inch-wide LCD screen for horizontal video viewing. The player supports video playback in MPEG4, SVI, and WMV9 file formats and audio playback in MP3, WMA, and subscription WMA file formats.
