Anonymous, 30 Jun 2012APPLE DID NOT INVENT SLIDE TO UNLOCK http://www.youtube.... moreAs much as this may be true, it isn't the argued point. Apple didn't create half the feature thier devices use, yet they "own the patents"

This isn't about who invented what and more about owning the patent. Apple trying to regain the monopoly they had with an over-priced, over-hyped handset that isn't even half the phone Samsung can make.

If these companies stopped fighting petty fights and shared thier technology, the whole world would be far more technologically advanced than we currently are.

        Typical of apple. The galaxy nexus gets a price drop making it very good value so apple gets scared and tries to get it banned. It is true that it has technologies similar to the iPhone , but then again, what happened with iOS 5 completely stealing the android notifications bar?

          I think samsung deserves it. for many years they don't innovate anything except maybe the amoled screens . they just copy and copy and copy. thank goodness LG has fallen, i hope samsung comes next. But apple also needs to do something innovative again not just filling cases against every company in the world

            hi all Anonymous, i'm Anonymous...
            just see around us,
            there's a lot of Anonymous using Anonymous iPhone with the same Anonymous home screen and the same Anonymous icons, running the same Anonymous slide to unlock lock screen...
            and the best part is why do we need that slide to unlock iPhone, and then key the code to unlock...
            if the code is set, can't we just have the password lock screen, how stupid is that ?
            OOOH!!! i see, u just need it there coz u've patent it... now i get it, how stupid of me.

                john, 30 Jun 2012apple is a loser...afraid of competition...i guess if all t... moreNot quite....if all manufacturers join hands than they will make only one series of devices(much like the iPhone or the S series) witch means apple can ban one device and ban the whole Android ecosystem....so it'better like this because though apple can ban one device, there are still many more to choose from

                  Well I have done some banning of my own ... in my household, if you buy an Iphone / Ipad / Ipod / Iwhatever then you better also buy your own laptop, router, LAN, internet access (and external power supply).

                  Apple is using b.s. patents...
                  many of these patented Apple features were available in other forms long before Apple sacked "on a mobile phone" on the side of them.

                  The Iphone is not original and the Ipad definitely ain't.

                  I can't wait for the day when Apple products get band for the pulldown notification that has been on android for ages.

                  .

                        it is weired, this is against the spirit of competition. the world would stop moving if this is allowed to go on. apple expects re-inventions of the wheel! about slide to unlock- your lock looks like mine? so how does that affect you house. this does not make nexus an apple!! etc.. needless to go on.!

                                        Apple is such an innivator that majority of their technology comes from smaller companies they bought. Yay innovation.
                                        Nokia innovation is that they are not far fro mbeign bought by one of the big boys - lmao
