You would have to have seriously impaired vision to not know which was which if they were laid out in front of you.
I hope this turns around adn bites them in the Ass - BIG TIME!
I mean, Nokia didn't abuse it dominant position to crush everything else in sight, it struck up alliances with the aim of creating an interesting market, a plethora of devices and plenty of choice.
Someone else pointed out that in the early days, Apple played the David and Goliath card with itself and Microsoft - look at it now. An UGLY, lawsuit wielding behemoth, intent on crushing anything that even looks like it might compete.
That leopard soon changed it's spots and no mistake.

Completely agree with both of you Bono & G-face.
Apple's arrogance will be the end of them.

I cannot understand any of this. I mean,Apple makes the iphone with a home key & someone else releases a phone with a touch screen with a home key too. So they then sue for rip off. So in other words anyone who releases a new phone from now on with ANY similar feature from Apple is basically f***ked!! It's like say Samsung suing Motorola cos Motorola put a side lock key like a Samsung phone has. Where does it end or am I missing something here?? I think Apple will be backed into a corner if not careful from everyone. They better not sue as they provide their new camera don't they??
Phone?? What phone?? |

Its these dam patents, i did a bit of comm. law in my 1st year of uni and from what i remember for a patent to be valid one of the requirements is an Innovative Step, but it seems these days you can patent anything and when competition gets tough just sue the crap out of any manufacturer who uses the same basic design. Sad realy.
Lol! Doubt they'll sue SE, AFAIK Ericsson and even Sony have quite the patent portfolio.

If Apple sues i wonder how are they going to photoshop ARC/Neo/Ply/X8/Live/W8/X1/X2/X10/X10mini/X10 mini pro/ P1/W960/M600/W950 all of which came after the first gen iphone or if their dillusions were on the next level include P900/P910/P800/ and the R380 Imgine if or had patented the PDA/Phone design a long time ago, they could sue all major companies that will adopt the design and earn loads of $$$. that could've saved them from their financial troubles right now

In the latest twist Samsung has turned to Hollywood to help refute the claim that it copied elements of the design and user interface of Apple's iPad 2.Samsung submitted Stanley Kubrick's classic 1968 science-fiction movie "2010: A Space Odyssey" as evidence at a hearing in the U.S. on Monday to show that Apple never had a monopoly on the design elements in question.

The Samsung-Apple patent war is far from over.After numerous patent lawsuits from Apple,Samsung has responded with another lawsuit of its own this time in France. Samsung claims that Apple has infringed on three of its technology patents regarding UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and "not" on the design of the tablets.

This whole thing just stinks and they all should just negotiate settlements. Now HTC is also suing Apple. Apple is asking the court to drop Motorola's lawsuit because Motorola was bought up by Google. Now Samsung is suing Apple.
Just plain stupid

Apple started this whole thing with claiming that Samsung are stealing their designs and now that Samsung and others are coming back fighting this is a fight Apple might wish they never started.

All that money for lawyers would be better spend on R&D and manufacturing jobs. What a waste.
