    I don't understand how Samsung is infringing Apple patents while the most important parts of iphone are made by Samsung such as processor, nand flash memory etc and Apple is using almost all parts from other companies. Samsung, lg , sharp , sony , toshiba etc are main parts suppliers of Apple. Apple make just software while Samsung uses software made by Google. I think apple's claim is like just nobody can make bicycles with two round tires. Evolution never stops even in technology. Apple is also used other technologies those developed by other companies , like from nokia it knew mmany ideas , from sony it knew to put music in phone , from Motorola it knew what is touchscreen, from Microsoft it learned software and put Internet in phone . I mean Apple had not invented technologies but combined them and put together in compact and beautiful object.

            Finally good news for justice! Even though, $1 is nothing. As we all know Smashung has two departments: Copy and Paste.

That's why Nokia were able to take them to the cleaners in court. Apple do far worse and then have the nerve to criticise others. As the old saying goes; poeple in glass houses should not throw stones.

I have been hearing this rubbush since the days of cassettes in the 70's. The same compannies that moaned about home video's and copyright actually manufactured the video recorders that allowed people to record the material in the first place. Sony happily moaned about copyright while also manufacturing both video recorders and the tapes for them.
