I just don't see any reason for this damn battle to continue. For once why don't Apple and Samsung stop playing dirty and fight with their techs? Well, specially apple made Samsung desperate to do this.

Personally I think, iPhone and Samsung's latest Androids both have their own uses. People like me who doesn't like to stay confined by an OS and want to just download and watch movies (Divx, xvid, mkv) straight on their phone, not depend on iTunes, transfer data by bluetooth and some other flexibility use android. And what better android phone there is than Samsung's galaxy s series?

And those who want Novelty over flexibility, browse websites and read without zooming (thanks to high res retina display), rich enough to pay and use secure application, do anything WITHOUT the fear of finding a virus in the phone (there's no virus for iPhone), and play loads of HD games (they just don't release those for Android for some reason I don't know) and finally want people to recognize their phone at first glance use iPhone.

So, that's it!! I guess it's time both them see sense and stop this war. They both has their own customer groups.

        whole of india with Samsung..
        we are not fools to pay heavily only for an apple OS.

        CONSUMERS ARE THE REAL WINNERS if the feature of one phone is made available in the other at less price..

        Thats what competition is

                I hope samsung wins this one; this will cause apple to rethink its outlook on frivalous litigation.
                The ball is in samsung's court with this one: I find it difficult to believe that Korean courts would rule against their own darling in an age where resentment against perceived American dominance is quite prevalent.
                Should Apple lose the Korean market, this will strike a significant financial blow that will give it a taste of things to come in its other lawsuits again htc and motorola.

                  i think SanSundown have no mind or he didn't know any thing about the impact of sueing nokia.
                  once upon a time the company named as apple.every company was afraid of apple no body knows from which side apple will attack them.and then apple corp. Was also known as sue god.
                  We have a quote: don't jump too high.when you will fall down it will pain too much.but apple sued almost all corps. But when he sued nokia the king.at that time nokia's status was too bad. Then apple the sue god thought i sue the great king. And he did.and then only apple knows what happens.he gave $650 million to nokia.$1 royalty on each iphone.and will have to give $550 million each year.
                  So moral:don't disturbe that lion who is quit and calm.or otherwise ask apple.
                  Goodnight.

                    AnonD-10315, 19 Sep 2011So WHAT!!!.... FORD was the first manufacturer in CARS... ... moreIn fact Ford was founded in 1903. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Rheinische Gasmotorenfabrik Benz & Cie. Owned by Mr. Benz who built his very own two stroke combustion engine in 1873 and the first car in the world, the Benz Motorwagen model 1 in 1885 followed by model 2 in 1886 with a patent and model 3 in 1888, and then another car model in 1894. So the first car with a proper internal two stroke engine was in 1886, thats 17 whole years before Ford Motor Company even existed and made theyr first car the Ford model A in 1903. Now Merced was had its first car for sale in 1901 thats 2 years ahead of Ford model A. Ps. I dont think the Ford Quadricycle can be called a car and it still was made to late in 1886 1 piece and 1889 another one and last one in 1901, and these 3 things LD were made by Ford as a person not Ford motor co. Which only was made in 1903.

                        AnonD-20247, 19 Sep 2011you just said nokia is king thats all !:-):-) I love nokia as well if i have to buy mobile phone i will buy nokia but if u talk about smartphone then i will never go for nokia.. Samsung mobile phones are dead in my opinion i don't like them, if you open samsung mobile phones page from this site you will feel that there is a garbage in front of you but if you open nokia mobile phones page then you will feel that they look really beautiful.. I use the things not for their brands if i'm not comfortable with something then i change even if it is made by gold..
                        I've used ios also but that was really bad experience of my life you are very very bound with IOS so that's the reason i hate Apple.. but I eat daily.. very useful for health.. :-D

                            Ok we all know that Samsung copied the parent ! iPhone shouldnt banned Samsung for selling their tablet. They should've stopped producing such tablets not banned. And now that Korea is banning iPhone in their country, this is were they gonna start declining their business. I don't think they can ban Samsung in NA. This is like iPhone vs the rest of the world.

                              apple started it ...so they are stupid if they think the other company's will be mum about it...apple should re think there strategy again before they lose business and get out of the market.
