I'm no Apple lover, but at least US has balls big enough to support their own companies, not like my stupid country, where businesses have been sold to foreign capital, job market suffered major blow and we're being flooded with cheap Made in China stuff.

      This is sick, both the companies need to stop litigating and GSMA needs to sideline reporting such stuff. this only leads to more fanboy trolling and eventually wars

        I guess some people who post here don't have any business sense, they are suing because it protect their business interest and it's part of the marketing strategy to hold off or delay the competitor.

        It also force the companies to be create new nice stuff for us, instead of just copying from each other.

        Think about it.. which are you on?

                          For those who are unsure of the situation, Sammy is just self-defending. Apple doesn't stop with the last lawsuit that it won ($13mil?), in fact, Apple is now trying to sue Sammy for other 'infingements'. And what can Sammy do is to counter-sue, it was left with no choice. That's the only way to save keep its asset from the never-ending Apple sueing.

                          Seriously, all moblie phone brands should form up an alliance to fight the rotten, dirty, lowly Apple.

                            I am an Apple Fan, not because of the name, but because of its functionality, trust me I have used all the phones which includes some High end Android devices and BB devices, but something like this certainly does not suit Apple.. I think there need a serious amendment on infringement laws, cause everything on this planet is a copy of another.. A car based on 4 wheels is been copied and implemented by various vendors, does not mean, its infringement.. All that Apple seriously needs to understand is that if they want to survive, they need to be innovative, think smart and come out with products that beats other products (Probably that's why an iPhone already has many patents).. Apple cannot rule out by saying that other vendors can't create a similar product and that a touchscreen device would be exclusive to Apple, specially considering the fact that most of the population would not be able to afford its high prices.. Probably next we would hear Sony (specially with their P Touch Series), Motorola devices and other Palm-phone companies (using Microsoft Windows Pocket edition) to file a suit against Apple to copy their ideas on using touch based devices or you may never know, even on the invention of iPads from the very old Tablet PCs using Windows throughout the era, or even Google again to sue Apple for using MAPs started by Google.. Probably Apple is just being a p***y in creating a monopoly for ideas which actually are not in original form from Apple either.. The cat and rat chase does not suit Apple is not worth to gain more popularity..

                              To all Americans who love Samsung, poor you. Supporting a foreign product based company who are not providing jobs to the Americans. Unlike Apple who is American based plus they try as much as possible to make the components and assembly in America for their thereby providing jobs to the people.

                              Think about it..which side are you on?

Just sit around and let Apple sue them and steel their technologies and leave them with nothing? Apple started this by steeling and then turning around and suing Samsung claiming they stole. It sucks but they have to take action.
