Well, Apple did not innovate editing, FCP was ideas taken from AVID Technology. They did not invent phones, ideas were taken from other phone companies. They did not invent HD Cinema displays, again ideas taken from LG or Samsung. Apple were crying and trying to sue companies who were trying to invent ways of installing their OS onto Windows machine. Two months later, they started selling machines that could dual boot into windows and OS. So Don’t go and tell me Apple don’t copy and invent their own. They have also copied each and every technology off others. After all, an idiot will learn off his own mistake, and a wise man will learn of others mistakes. Why re-invent the wheel. As much as Apple have done to others, others also do it to Apple. Stop crying, Samsumg Galaxy S II iKicks the Apples arse any day (Comes from me as an Ex-Apple Employee). Come on Steve Jobs, do you want to sue me for letting loose the Apple Secret? Just try it. Cuz you can’t sue for facts if they aren’t lies.

      Apple must be trying to fund the pay out and on-going royalties they were forced to give to Nokia a month ago after they breached 10 of their patents in the design of the iPhone.

              WTF Apple !!.

              I think all of the manufacturer company like Samsung, LG.....etc should completely stop manufacturing / supplying all the parts for iPhone. Then this will only end the lawsuit !!! Else it will be endless story.

              Thanks.

                    Wether you like or dislike Apple, it's a question of ilogical american patent laws. American companies are taking patents on just about anything they can and then file lawsuits left to right for patent violation. And the US courts are biased because of protection of national companies.
                    Back in the days when Nokia ruled the mobile world, you would never hear of X-company suing Y-company over patent violation. Eventhough mobilephones back then were mostly identical in design and features. If there was a problem the involving companies would make a deal and the case wouldn't even reach a courtroom.

                      Imagine this, Apple try and sue all the smartphone makers because they haven't any ideas, they go to court saying the others copied this, that and the other so in court the people like HTC, Samsung, Nokia etc have to show the phone designs so then if they show something interesting Apple can then 'borrow' the idea and put it in their phones.... Maybe it is really about seeing what technology advances others are making.

                        This person bought an iPhone as he considered it the first time he could use a smartphone as the user interface was very well designed down to the smallest details.

                        Oh yeah, I forgot, this person is blind. Using a touchscreen phone.

                          Apple has lost it. they just couldn't accept they are no longer the leader of smart phones. HTC, Sony Ericsson, Samsung has taken smart phones to a new level that Apple isn't ready to meet.

                              ..if you did not know apple is trying to copy androids notification system..and apple has indeed been sued in the past for copying..i.e by mirrors for over 600 mil.

                              my stupid phone 3g could not even allow me to watch a show streaming on megavideo WTF:/

                              Good for you your apart of the small 7% of apple fan boys..while the rest of us more intelligent people who actually look at the phones specification and what it can do make up the majority.
