          everyone, these companies should really stop suing each other, this is the modern world and there is only so much new things you can think of, if someone copied you, don't fuss about it. Great minds think alike, copying is if your ideas or technology ideas get used by someone else several times, that means more than one, people this is stupid, we want to see new phones and tablets, and this is not going to happen if these companies sue each other over teeny tiny little things and arguing it out in court. I think its very immature and it says that they don't have lives, If they did, they would have better things to do with their time than sue and sue and sue and its not getting you any further, so stop!!! your only wasting time

                Shameful behavior from Samsung. If it were from unimaginative Chineae knock-off companies, that's one thing, but they have the capability to do well on their own. Galaxy products are great, they should try to be more original with the future products.

                          The massively corrupt politicians are to blame for allowing patents on software and software design... this allows only multibillion corporations to play the game !!! Everything is corrupted, people are so so ignorant.

                              I don't like what Apple done with the patent war trend, but served Samsung right. Samsung is really copy apple's phone shape since Galaxy S. Especially the U.S Tmobile Galaxy S. When I phone 3g, 3gs does not have LED light for camera. Samsung begin to release with out LED flash too. Stupid..

The Gallery App is one of Android's core component and if the courts decide that Samsung is indeed infringing Apple's patents based on a core OS component, then Google together with HTC, LG, Motorola, SE, Dell, Acer and all other manufacturers better prep their lawyers for what's coming.

                                        Samsung can remove or change the Gallery App but if that really is the case then Google is in some deep sh*t.
