“ Although Delicious Library was the first to do it, we didn’t try to copyright the idea of wooden shelves, or of showing books photo-realistically. So, of course they looked around, found the best interface for displaying books (Delicious Library’s shelves), and said: yup, this is what we’re doing,” he went on to say. “ But the thing about iBooks is, it’s a book-reader. Notably, he says, “ Mike Matas was a UI designer on the iPad, Lucas Newman is an iPhone / iPad engineer, and Tim Omernick was an iPhone / iPad engineer but left a while ago to work on games independently.” Update: Shipley has responded with some lengthy comments. You may wonder why Apple didn’t just hire Shipley if they poached his whole team? “ They couldn’t afford to hire me,” he writes.

We’ve reached out to Shipley to confirm those hires and will update if we hear back.īack in July, you may recall that Shipley had to kill the Delicious Library iPhone app because of a change to Amazon’s APIs for pulling product data. But if Apple really did hire much of Shipley’s team then just re-create the look, that’s a little shady. Still, as Shipley notes, iBooks is only for eBooks while Delicious Monster is for all types of media, and has much more functionality. Not only that, but it’s not like this is a little-known app that Apple may have missed: it has won the Apple Design Award twice, and been a runner-up one other time. I mean, the bookshelf view in iBooks is nearly identical to the main bookshelf view used in Delicious Library. Flattery?” While Shipley tries to play it off as not that big of a deal, clearly he’s pretty upset about it. Later, he added, “I guess it’s not enough Apple has hired every employee who worked on Delicious Library, they also had to copy my product’s look.
#DELICIOUS LIBRARY REVIEW LICENSE#
“ No, Apple didn’t license iBooks from me. In fact, Shipley was quite vocal on Twitter during the keynote today about the situation. The only problem? His shop didn’t make it. I’m not the only one who thought that either. Delicious Monster founder Wil Shipley thought the same thing.
