A little bit of calibre history:

Cover flow was added to calibre (committed to the public repository) on 2008-05-23

The implementation of cover flow in calibre is based on another open source (GPL) cover flow implementation http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/...?content=75348. When I implemented it, I had never even seen Apple's cover flow (I don't use Apple products).
