        Samsung is finally being exposed slowly, despite its efforts to hide it. Thank God for companies like Nokia and HTC who show that there are many other ways to design a smartphone and still be unique.

        More bad news as Samsung has also just been uncovered to abuse underaged children at its production lines.

                For all against Apple: Plz guys, get a life. Someone stealing ur ideas and hard work and printing money on that.... Temme how would u feel? 'Distinction' is something achieved by extreme hard work. Apple has it. Samsung lacks it. END OF DISCUSSION!

                      Samsung copied Apple. Android now on stock version is far better than ios thats why s3 tries to give us a more stock view still copies the Green horrible Phone icon cm10 ftw

                        Stop posting apple/samsung conflicts! This is ridiculous and it won't affect the consumers opinion.

                            The world has gone mad, car companies do this all the time, get the other persons car,compare it against your own and where the opposition product is better improve your own in a similar fashion. Unless the Galaxy S was an iPhone rebadged as a Galaxy S (which it wasn't)it's all fair game. I had my original Galaxy S at the same time my brother had a iPhone 3GS and they were poles apart. Amazing that it has come to this. It's the Cold War all over again.

                                Unfortunately for Samsung, Apple covered most of their bases as far as consumer experience in using their products. It is the main reason why Apple products sells. There is always a "WOW" factor and Samsung's implementation is a mere translation from a keypad phone to a touchscreen phone.

                                  Because of business apple forget friend Samsung.

                                  We are living in one World not on the other planet.

                                  why don't you try to find other wonderful feature to improve your sell on market if you want to be the king of phone?


                                  Go to the curt is not a good solution.
                                  You call Samsung is a copycat. why true cat afraid about copycat? why need to be in curt because of copycat?

                                  If Samsung is really can steal your technology, that is also your big mistake.

                                  If you are a true leader, do not angry with a small guide who try to do like you.

                                  Should be encourage them to do like you.
                                  You might focus too much on money, reputation and so on.

                                  If you are the true Gold , why do you need to care about metal?

                                  I recommend you apple.

                                  Stop if possible.

                                  For Samsung should also think about the relationship between each others. We are living in one world not alone.

                                    it is just bad marketing from apple side
                                    look at page 9
                                    iOS is on app grid and android on home screen where u can add as many shortcuts as u want
                                    and the whole pdf is like that
                                    in few words
                                    apple sux =]

                                        To Samsung and other Android manufacturers, please just give AOSP UI. ICS is not Cupcake or Donut, so your custom UI is no longer needed.
