I'm not opposed to using better ideas when I find them. And I'm also not advocating reinventing the wheel. Nice straw men you have there. If your UI requires tabs, the Android platform has an excellent set of classes for doing so.
What I am opposed to is trying to turn Android into an iPhone imitation. From a usability standpoint, both UIs have perfectly usable tab implementations. Do you honestly think the iPhone's tabs are more usable than Android? In fact, I'd go further and say that, *in the context of Android*, the Android tabs are *more* usable - simply because they offer a consistent UI and don't try to be all iPhoney.
