Well I don't believe the samsung galaxy S looks anything like the Iphone. The oveall design & placement of features & menu keys are all positioned in diff places. Why don't apple sue everyone for making a phone with lcd screen of same dimensions exactly & say well sue everyone who is doing that. It's a rather flawed case.
For a start the samsung galaxy is black, completely made of different materials the casing. The sensors & speaker design are different & are in different places. The main menu key is a not round, but square, plus the galaxy has two other dedicated android function keys. Turn over to look at the back cover & you can see clearly a completely different design.
I think it's very silly what they are doing. Apple might aswell sue htc, or nokia for that matter they probably already have, lol!!! Apple might think they can stand on everyones feet on the smartphone world just because they are big boys in the industry, but what they don't wat to do is make such a bad name for themselves & play around with money over silly accusations or patents.
It is known that companies or even the government copy other nations to counter new stealth weapons technologies. It always ends up turning into a war. I really don't see why the galaxy s resembles the iphone 4. All smartphone need big screens need a menu key or obviously theres no other way, maybe if samsung implemented a oblong shape menu key would that have stopped the accusation. Or is it the screen?
I don't know about the software, maybe the law suit is just over that only, the icons & the behavior of the icons - copying apples IOS with their touchwiz, then I can see samsung would probably do a better job anyway. Just as Android would do a beter job, whatever clearly happened in the GUI war, I'm sticking with linux maemo. Other than thousands of apps linux maemo beats IOS & Android fair & square epecially with an enhanced kernel!!!

Well I was sure this was coming. Galaxy S was identical to the iphone 3gs and apple didn't say anything when it first came out. Then Samsung just copy the design of iphone 4 for the new galaxy s2. Samsung is a great company in terms of hardware, but in terms of design and ideas they really suck.

perhaps this the reason Nokia prefer to stay with its present UI and icon style.
NOKIA is smarter in producing smartphones wakakaka.

Idiot samsung...shure their galaxy s series looks %80 like the stupid Iphone...again: idiot samsung, you are a big giant, do you need to copy someone else design? don't you have designers in your company?
But these days marketing is "You hit me, I hit you" - "you steal from me I steal from you"....noow war begins..
samsung, if you want to hit someone, find a better design, find a better OS and play the game...But I have to accept that the market is dirty...

The whole situation is strange, Apple rely on Samsung for their processor and screen matrix technology. Samsung rely on Apple for the income in relation to the sale of these screens and processor technology (Apple is one of Samsung's biggest customers). If I were Apple knowing that I rely on Samsung then I would let this one go or sweep it under the carpet. A lawsuit about copying the 'look and feel' of a device can only lead to nowhere. Apple cannot compete unless they work with Samsung as no other company has the real technological know how in terms of designing the above mentioned components so they should work together and come to an agreement. The lawsuit shows that Apple is not thinking ahead in terms of keeping their relationship with Samsung on a good level and that they see Samsung Android phones as a threat now that Android is gaining ground. Apple should ask itself do we really want to upset Samsung and is it worth it?
