    these apple fanboys needs to understand nearly 80% of what's inside an iphone is samsung made anyway, i see brainwashing has an effect on other parts of the brain that uses intuition to conduct your own research on a phone rather than follow the crowd....

      For your information, Apple fanboys, Android is a completely different OS. Android is open-source, if you didn't know. Apple is also a copy-cat. The drop-down notifications panel? Multi-tasking? The 3G technology of Motorola which it won against Apple? Apple even manipulated pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in court (Germany) to make it look like the iPad. So much for your unwarranted praises to Apple...

          Apple is pretty much the worst company ever. Terrible products developed from stolen ideas. But, since they make their products look 'trendy', all the people with no tech knowledge worship the junk.

A slew of unique devices..That's why they all look the same and are a copy design of something else in the first place right. Lol

              Android koolaid is better then sucking off jobs while he takes all you mony and makes you his little izombie bit** girl.

              It's zombies like you who know nothing yet just repeat what you are told that make this such an aggravating environment. Yeah we know nothing about innovation. That's why most of the biggest innovations have been coming from companies like Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung. Prior to and on Android. With Apple you get the same stolen design and features while with Android you can get just about anything you are looking for. Any size, feature, technology, color, screen, and all the good stuff. Have fun being apples little toy :)

                kiloh3rtz, 30 Dec 2011I as a iphone user got to say I feel proud right now cuz I ... moreDude you kinda have a good idea started but too far into the view of apple and some ofyour who started what is out of order and you proportions are out of order. Do some heavy research and learn some truths. Android is pretty awesome. And if apple wasnt such a crappy company stealing ideas and trying to prevent others from giving us choice and trying to stop inovation while their izombies were going around sputing out things they know nothing about there would not be so many upset android commenters. Not to say there are not crazed android fanboys, but the fact is that there is an extremely vastly greater amount of apple ones they are in every thread and on every site, and on every post, or even out in the store, the gas station, schools all of them mostly starting things by blindly saying how much google sucks and iphone is amazing and everything is a copy of apple and they barely know anything about technology.

It's not all about what's lega or fair. Sometimes, but lots of times it's about who has power and or money. That would be Apple. They can get away with a lot of crap.

                  Just like submitting photoshopped evidence without any consequence or winning injunctions for slender, rounded edged shapes. That's why they can patent ideas that are not their own. Just because Apple are in the wrong does not mean they are not gonna win anyways. This is reality not fairy tell. People are blind and corrupt.

Everyone copied apple. They invented everything. Why don't you take your own advice, shut the hell up, do some heavy research, broaden you views, and learn that Apple got most of what they have from others. They take a hell of a lot more then what is taken from them...which mostly what is copied or taken from them is cheap Chinese replicas or knock offs made to be a literal knock off.

It's behavior is like of a kid who is envious of what other kid have then just simply grab what he wants and leave other kid crying. I HATE APPLE AND WILL NEVER, EVER BUY ANY APPLE PRODUCT!

                          Oh yeah, we don't invent, just copy others, gloss it up, advertise it, act like its our invention and then somehow patent it.

                            Bottom line is, Apple need to get over it. They are having a hissy fit everytime a rivaling company ever does something good. This law suit will most likely fall through, and Apple have to remember, they have been the big guns for their previous law suits against Samsung and other companies, but now they are up against Google. Not as easy as they might think.

                            Now I'm awaiting stupid comments from fan boys in response to this, so just putting it our there. Yes I am bias (towards Android) but i have always been skeptical. Apple has been a great company with some great ideas, but they are going down hill, and they are not going to make any friends by throwing their weight around. iPhone 4s - old technology. Also fanboys, how cool is IOS5's new awesome super cool notification bar?

                              Wait a moment since Apple wasn't a telecommunication company like Motorola, Nokia, and others they had no history, experience or any other research&development in the field of mobile phones, so what they did in 2007 with their first mobile phone released aka iPhone was to copy and steal all the technology that others like Motorola, Nokia&CO have invented and developed through decades before Apple was ever thinking on producing a mobile phone.
                              So look who stole all that mobile phone technology in the first place, Apple stole it and they should pay others 10$ or more per every device they sold.
                              Second Android was found and developed since 2003 for mobile devices and in 2005 Google acquired them. Since iPhone with iOS came out only in year 2007 Apple did copy and steal everything they could from other mobile OSes like Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android, so Apple should pay another 10$ per every device they sold to others for stealing every idea and maybe even source code found in previous mobile OSes released way ahead of iOS.
                              So yeah stop stealing others work Apple you didn't invent the mobile phone nor the OS that runs it. Siri was just a rip off copy of Android Voice Actions too. Apple is a blatant copy machine even Steve Jobs recognized that fact just search on Youtube "Steve Jobs stealing ideas" to see the proof.
