So WHY did Apple choose the shape it did for its mobiles?

Certainly a unique design format ;-)

    @World: Thing we should all together boycott American products, especially the mother of all copycat, Apple.

    They had copy every mobile devices like MP3 Player the ipod, Laptop the macbook, Smartphone the iphone, UMPC the ipad. But then never contributing a single dollar and cent back to the communities with their gigantic profit margin out of cheap cost products.

      this is what happens when you let a jury decide on the outcome of a case. No doubt the majority of them are arrogant iPhone users!

        Anonymous, 28 Aug 2012Finally some justice for the people that gave us technology... moresamsung, lg, htc existed way before apple created its iphone.
        iphone came at the precise moment when touch screen phone were emerging. And apple took every good bits from every vendor it could find and sewn them on iphone.
        Yes they revolutionize the mobile phone industry, but i don't think apple has the right to patent a generic design of a phone.
        Yes apple is a great artist because apple "steals"
        Samsung is good because they "copy"
        so, who's the bad guy now?

            Wow, over a thousands comments here. And most of them are from butt hurt shamesung fan boys. Maybe it will take more than 1 billion dollar ass kicking from Apple for Samsung to wake up to make some ass kicking designs.

              - Judge Koh is reviewing the verdict forms.

              - Samsung Galaxy Tab design does NOT INFRINGE the Apple iPad’s design, per the Jury.

              i have owned both phone appke 4s and samsung galaxy phone
              if samaung has to pay 1 billion dollar to apple because the infringed on apple design then so be it they where smart enough to patient round coners,

              Samsung Galaxy Tab design does NOT INFRINGE the Apple iPad’s design, per the Jury.
              so if i was samsung lawers i would be asking apple to pay samsung back for banning sales of the samsung tab ( loss of revenue and sales ) fair is fair samsung need to pay for copying the iphone so apple also shuold pay samsung for losss of revenue as the didn't copy the ipad design as per jury comments.

              what price should samasung ask for..?



              so is i was samsung (

                There is a new ipad. The iPad mini. What size is it? 7 inch? Not possible... Apple is all about originality. They would never go 7 inch because the original Samsung Galaxy Tab came out at 7 inch. It must be a mistake, apple would never make a blatant copy like that.

                        What if, say Citibank claim a patent for Saving. Then all the sudden every bank in the world must remove the saving from their services or pay royalty. This is an unfair situation for a generic product in a particular industry. You should fight in services, not claiming for something that peoples need. I think you all know who is the jerk in the Apple vs Samsung case.

                          Well, with $1+ billion, Apple will get samsung chips for free for couple of years... but then Samsung may or can increase the chip price in a way that (hope) Apple won't be able to sue again... Basically, Apple is US company, and Samsung is Korea (if this fight is in Korea, i think Apple may not win)

Every major Android OEM is already paying microsoft for patent infringments. You also have Apple going after the Android OEMs. Windows Phone 8 will have the same core as with Windows 8 and probably the next Xbox. Apple and Google can't beat an ecosystem like that. They already demo games where you play on Windows 8, pause it, and continue on Windows Phone. There is also Xbox Smartglass coming this holiday.
