Sun, 27 Jun 2011So because of these small resemblences Apple is suing Samsu... moreyeah but we arent just talking about just a few similarities are we
samsung went out of their way to make their device look a feel like an iPhone and not like an android to use the iphone popularity for their gain
i mean out of all the android phones none of them have a menu overlay like samsungs and that just happens to be the exact way iOS looks and works.
dont get me wrong i still think all the lawsuits that the corps are doing is rediculus as they are only doing it as a way to negotiate.
but y is it that ppl can sue apple but when apple sue ppl get all defensive. in the end of the day all thats gonna happen is they will trade patents of some sort

AnonD-12115, 27 Jun 2011samsung is a copycat!!! yes. they have copied every single ... moreUm I'm sorry, but please PLEASE get your facts straight. Just because, from a consumer's standpoint, it appears that Samsung has "copied" Apple's designs, it doesn't mean that Samsung has. Innovation is not copying - and the matter is further complicated by the fact that Apple's own fundamental design for the iPhone comes STRAIGHT from the LG Prada (which is considered the "Big Two" in electronics along with Samsung in Korea). Please get your facts straight!

if apple can monopolize the touchphone market, there will be little incentive for innovation right? since when did we start getting cheaper and cheaper mobile phones? since there is competition i suppose

Sun, 27 Jun 2011So because of these small resemblences Apple is suing Samsu... morePlease have information before making wild guesses. Apple's lawsuit against Samsung is based on nearly 20 patent infrigements. Secondly, would you go into a potentially millions lawsuit if you thought you had no chance of winning? Please read the summary article by Nilay Patel who breaks down the lawsuit in easy to understand terms. Apple may or may not win, but if you read the articles, you will at least understand why they decided to sue.

So to all of you who keep saying Samsung copied every... What kinda of crack are you on?????????
I don't know if it's even true, but it's been said that the box was copied.... OMG! If true... THE TOP COMES OFF THE SAME WAY ANY OTHER BOX DOES! THEY MUST'VE STOLE THAT IDEA! I MEAN! WHO ELSE COULD'VE HAD THAT IDEA BESIDES APPLE!....oh no...ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL!!!!!!
2nd-The designs are similar because of their simplicity...THe are not exactly alike and if they were(which they are not)APPLE CAN NOT COPY RECTANGELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also it is like saying myself and another male of similar height and build and color and age look exactly alike............There may be a similar appearance, but we would most likely look extremely different in a whole and talk, work, move, and think completely different.
Apple just thinks they own the world because they are the big hyped, over talked about, over sold, popular, mainstream, and widely known....mostly by people who don't know what the hell the are doing when they purchase a device.

Apple's product launchings and announcements were postponed because Samsung won't provide them hardware until Apple withdraws lawsuits with Samsung on patents. Haha. ;)

Why people buy SGS II(and other phones) when they can easily buy iPhone 4? (they have the money for either of them!)iPhone is a good phone but not the best. This is the reality. Maybe the iPhone 5 will be better.But for now it lacks too many basic features. Anyway, everyone buys whatever thinks it suit him/her.

me, 27 Jun 2011haha are you saying that they dont have the rite to protect... moreSo because of these small resemblences Apple is suing Samsung?.....The design is not simmilar to justify a lawsuit!!!
Apple can never win with these kind of fible arguments! I can say that first Iphone strongly resembles LG Prada!......Apple is using those dirty tactics because they realise that Samsung is their number one competitor.....they aren't happy with G2 very high selles numbers and the fact that some of their clients tired of iOS restrictions and control are migrating to Samsung! So Apple decided to play dirty.....with lawsuit after lawsuit in the vane hope that these actions will impact G2 selles numbers!....Futile attempt!.....A bright Galaxy is blinding Apple with it's shine!

Samsung Maybe a copycat but apple worst of stealing. It steal idea , steal IP and even steal a design from a kids. ( WiFi sync apparently, made it them on ios5). Copy is not a crime But steal is. Apple a thief.

AnonD-12115, 27 Jun 2011samsung is a copycat!!! yes. they have copied every single ... moretsk tsk tsk, I feel sorry for u and ur Nokia. Samsung copied? Maybe thats why Galaxy S II is the best phone on earth!!! Samsung copied copied and copied, Im sick of hearing this!! what do you think Nokia is doing with N9(those icons) and this Symbian Cinderella..whatever...update? What about LG and the others? See the reason why apple keeps sueing Samsung is bcos they're scared of fact that the name GALAXY is now associated with high end phones. The word "Galaxy" seems to scare them (I know...its Kinda huge!!) They r scared of losing their place & keep sueing Samsung bcos they are the most succesful!! I wonder why they Google hasnt sued em yet for the Notification Stuff they COPIED from Android (oh wait...they're not kids). Assuming N9 makes it big enough, watch and see who will be going to court next!! And...er...if u feel sick...the infirmary's aiways open. (JK!!)

1. Samsung Copied The Packaging from Apple
2. The (TouchWiz Interface) Used by Samsung is A CopyCat of The iOS Menu Interface
3. Samsung Galaxy S Has the Same Shape as iPhone
For Those Who say That Gaming on SGS II is Better just because It has a Greater Processor are Just Dreaming
Most Developpers Develop their HD Games for iPhone making them Always running with The Best Quality on iPhone's Hardware . and They're even Thousands of Games on iPhone and iPod Touch , While Android Has Fewer Games.
For Those Who say That iOS Lacks a Lot Of Features
- A Lot of These Features are added in iOS 5
- All Android Features and Even More are Possible Thanks To Jailbreak
and Who Was the First to Make a Tablet , Apple Or Samsung ?
Didn't Apple Start with Making iPad then all Other Companies Started to Copy It ? (Aka Samsung Galaxy Tab , And Motorola XOOM)

Sun, 26 Jun 2011This lawsuit has everything to do with Apple's market strat... moreso do you honestly not see any similarities between iPh3gs and galaxy s
lets see:
looks? both have silver rim, curved back and singular home button in middle
OS? both have 4 icons on dock, slide left to right, same call icon
box? open same way, wrap headphones same way
now im not saying that lwsuits like this should happen BUT if you had spent millions designing a product down to the box would you want another company to use that design for free?
