    it doesn't matter which hardware is faster, the user experience is the thing that really matter

    and to all the who say Apple technology originated by samsung, you have no idea about the silicon industry
    if we used your logic we would say that DELL,Nikon, blackberry and Sony technolgies are not original since their devices are manufactured by some Taiwanese/Chinese OEMS
    apple chips and (SAMSUNG hummingbird) are basically ARM-A8 chips modified by an american company called Intrinsity, samsung just manufacture these chips like any OEM

            Anonymous, 24 Aug 2011Worst hardware? Funny how all the criticism always only com... morei would agree that its not the worst hardware but for me: software(too easy with not a lot of customization and personalization features) + hardware(nothing special or new) = not worth the price . Also i HATE the fact that i have to pay 100 buks for a chip that is worth 5 bucks at best more than what is in the thing (16-32gb)

              i think Apple is a piece of costly metal , although the fact cannot be denied that they were the one who made the era of Smart Phones , but they shouldn't think themselves as a Monopoly in this market, but rather make that thing CHEEP for MANGO PEOPLE ! and compete with the Existing Devices and The World's most Awesome Mobile OS .!

              Microsoft for example has an awesome OS Windows(R) , and although they were being a monopoly , but they had the curtsy to enhance creativity , yet as it is always prooved that they are on the creative part.

                Moto_Tecnico, 24 Aug 2011Only people without knowledge in this area believe in Apple... moreWorst hardware? Funny how all the criticism always only comes from disgruntled haters in forums, yet the iPhone is praised by industry pundits and review sites.

                Funny how also in recent months, Google is now going the 'closed wall' approach with the motorola merger. Samsung now focusing on Bada as a result. Korea itself threatened by the merger are also developing their own OS. Last but not least, Android has just achieved the top platform for malware with a 76% increase, as per McAfees report.

                Tsk tsk tsk, not so peaceful on the Android front is it? Criticising Apple is a waste of time, with so much in-fighting and problems within the Android camp itself.

                  After the tablet ban I read some comments like 'it must be a good tablet if Apple is so scared of it so I'll buy it even if I didn't want a tablet'. Apple advertises Samsung products effectively. Shouldn't they rather 'improve' the prices of their ipads? For example, if it costs 650 EUR, let it cost 500 EUR and so on. Isn't it a better strategy?

                    There is no immediate sale ban for Samsung.
                    Samsung can continue to sell all the Galaxy.
                    Apple has lost.
                    Samsung creates a new phone each 2 weeks (and not each year as Aplle).
                    So in october Samsung can propose an even better Galaxy under another name and Aplle will be mad.

                      Only people without knowledge in this area believe in Apple Phones (apple = great market), they have the worst hardware and a soso software if compare the great Companys, like Moto and Samsung. How a company with few years in this area can be better than others, open your eyes, compare the pones and learn, apple phones gives all of you stats, but stats it's not quality. I worked in Moto many years and Now Im in Samsung, and about Samsung, 60% off I Phone and Tabs tecnology are powered by samsung.

                      Sry for bad English.

                                  Samsung can only copy from apple, galaxy build quality also bad, the plastic look cheap. They can sell a lot of phone and tab because they copy everything from apple.

They sued over a whole list of patent infringements, which together, combined to emulate the whole 'look and feel'. If I am not mistaken, its over a list of around 20 patents. However, the decision taken by the court in this case, was regarding the gallery patent.

                                        If you cannot compete you sue!

                                        Great strategy, in the long run though those who do all the suing end up losing for lack of creativity. Bad news for potential Iphone 5 buyers, from the sounds of it.
