Doesn't want to piss off Apple? Other way around. Apple is Samsung's largest customer- you have no idea how many parts they buy from Samsung. Yeah losing Apple as a customer might suck a little, but where else is Apple going to get it's precious little iPhone components from? Nokia? LOL.

Anonymous, 04 Jul 2011All is about Google and Appel 'cause of android phones shar... moreWhat are you talking about. Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung have crucial patents for making mobiles. They crosslicence betweene them. Apple didnt want to pay Nokia, but now they changed their minds, and made a deal.
In the smartphone segment, those patents that the above mentioned brands have are very important.
Tnumber of patents in total has no importance in this smartphone lawsuite war.
Motorola made the first mobile, but they didnt invent it, several of companies were involved in the development. And the following years, the mobile technology evolved, and more companies were involved and developed imporovements and new necessary technology for mobile communications. Those inventions were patented, of course.

you see the thing is when you Google Samsung and read about it on wiki you will find out that Samsung owns apple, respectively, and that Samsung is the leader for electronics so Samsung will always win and apple should just give up, all Samsung need to do is stop selling to apple and then they're screwed, its that simple

Ha apple sues samsung for cosmetic patents so samsung sue back with hardware patents. Which I might add they knew apple where using anyway, only reason they didn't do anything was due to their partnership. If apple wins they have to use a new design skin for their phones and update touch wiz. If samsung wins apple have to pay for each unit sold since the ordinal iphone

I really don't get how Apple can sue anyone for making a bar style phone. Last time I checked Nokia and Sony has been pumping those out for years now. Secondly Apple makes no part of there Iphone except there IOS which has copied a lot of things from android now. Also since you sue Samsung so start buying parts fom Sony? Then what, sue Sony and start buying from LG?

And samsung aint thieves, dismantle an iPhone u'll see samsung made chips, dismantle any Android again u'll see Samsung! Having a AMOLED Android? Screen is made by Samsung, having a Sony LCD tv it is most likely its using samsung made panel! Laptop batteries most of 'em are made by LG n Samsung! Check ur laptops RAM cartridge, see who made it, Samsung!
PS:i lyk nokia, i'm a nokia fanboy, bt having SE android.

Janari, 04 Jul 2011Samsung are thieves. I hope they fail in court and pay huge... morei have to disagree with you. if samsung is copying apple why does the new IOS5 have the notification drop down menu like samsung, why is the new email system going to be like blackberry, why are they trying to get sony ericsson cameras for their new iphone's. i am sorry but apple have not had an original idea for the iphone in ages.
working for a dealer i great because all those people who say that nokia is best then get the new nokia E7 and then end up comming back in two weeks because the software is crap..... they make me piss myself laughing. i will like nokia again WHEN they build a good phone.

I think the main reason for apple to suite Samsung is because Galaxy S phones are eating iPhone alive ,and the reason behind this Samsung success is Google, so it's like a company wars. The good thing is we will have fast grow for the advance technology. By the way, I am waiting for ASUS Padphone to release, so i am not biased.

However this makes it all the more odd that the recent iOS5 has copied so many features from Android models... If Apple wants to stand apart, they aren't doing a very good job that way, wouldn't you agree?
I realise ofcourse this is all about product branding. It's about that first impression a customer has (*wow, this is really unique!*). But practically, the gap between Android/Apple is actually being closed by Apple itself in terms of practical use - not that this is a bad thing.
