Samsung has dropped its latest suit against Apple in the United States. This is not a retreat, nor is Apple winning the case. According to Samsung it just needs to "streamline the legal proceedings"...

          I agree with you all, Samsung would like to keep it's billion dollar client despite it's belief that it's Galaxy brand are not clones of the iPhone/iPad at all - though on the other hand it really looks that way and Samsung even suddenly redesigned it's new tablets to better compete with the iPad 2. Apple and Nokia are teaming up to settle some grounds with Samsung, it's a good move that Samsung drops their suit (I don't think they should even "re-evaluate" their claim given that 2 against 1, whose the victor - we all know.

              Lets get this straight Apple sues Samsung, then Apple will go on and sue another company and another and another, where will it end Apple accept it you are not the only player in the market any more. If Apple and Samsung put this much money and time into making and designing there phones then they would not need to copy steal and borrow ideas. Apple products are suppose to be unique then why when you have a good close look at it can you see other elements from older devices from other manufactures, Samsung on the other hand are able to move forward has they do have a vast library of models and designs they don't really need to steal any ideas from Apple, what is it next Blackberry are going to sue all the company's that have stolen there design form factor well that's Nokia, Alcatel, Sony Ericsson, Samsung... most of the major players in the mobile market then, come on Apple and Samsung stop wasting your money and time and show us the consumer which is best start wowing us again after all we buy the products.

                          Ok Samsung, go and prepare a better case and file the same against Apple. Incase you need some more funds, then please increase the prices of Galaxy S2 and that would help you to fund the research team for them to file something major against Apple.

                          Cheers!!

                            i don't know why people are so worked up in saying that samsung is copying apple.. but the only thing that look like an iphone is the design, and the icon, when apple is definitely copying android notification bar.. notification bar is a lot more significant then just a mere design and icon right? i mean samsung galaxy sII is never about how it looks (before the screen turned on :D) those ifanboy keep saying "oh come on, everybody's doing it." and when apple is sue samsung they were like "DIE YOU copycat DIIEEEEEE..!!" double standard..

Remember how they lost to Creative for copying the Zen patent for their iPod. The iPhone name is not even originally from Apple, they were sued by Cisco for using the name iPhone which is part of their VoIP line. Apple is buying its way up not inventing and now they sueing Samsung for a UI design that is not even theirs.

                                      Why would Samsung want to copy apple? If they wanted to copy, they could have copied Sony Ericsson since they seem to have the best looking designs these days.

                                        I seem to remember Apple copying Samsung.... Samsung brought out a touch mp4player in 2007, announced before iphone and released before iphone and they looked VERY VERY similar..

                                        Apple hardly innovate, they take current things and it seems the general public believe its Gods creation!. Look at the front camera, had video calls like that for years but apple said no its stupid, then later they did it and the apple fanboys agree that its the best thing since slice bread!.


                                        Samsung would win any legal battle against Apple, they have a ton of patents and hardware patents are probably better than style... Most touchscreen smartphones look similar, its very hard to make it different, glass screen + buttons + speaker grill... exactly, again Apple didnt make the first phone like this all they did was have one main button in the middle (crap idea IMO), LG/HTC/SAmsung all did it before Apple... heck HTC made the first touchscreen phone iirc lol.
