하지만 실제 폰을 본 사람들이 평한 댓글 중엔
this phone UI looks like an iphone
somebody needs to upgrade their iphone XD
등 UI는 아이폰, 외형은 X1을 참조했음을 말하는 글도 있었다.
LG arena폰이 iphone을 벤치마킹한 것은 사실인 듯 싶다.
하지만 hub & spoke방식이나 초기화면에 아이콘을 배열하는 건 palm의 UI였던 점을 상기해보면,
사실 apple또한 palm UI를 따라간 것 또한 사실이다.
마켓에서의 선점, 그리고 1등이 된다는 것은 일반 사용자들의 멘탈모델(여기서는 스마트 폰에대한..)을 형성하는데 가장 효과적인 요소인듯 하다.
