You cant put a patent on a style of phone... Apple make good products (albeit over-priced) but they're far too heavy on suing the competition.
Competition drives progress, if there were no competitors to the iPhone or iPad, then there wouldn't be the rapid developments in technology that we are seeing today with all these huge companies bringing out phones and tablets.
Its common for a company to file patent for all their product even on the style of the product.
if you try to do some search on Motorola. They did the same on the product styling as well since it is still IP ...they even file it for their walkie talkie which you should aware didn't have anything special on styling.

it wasn't common you see a big OEM suing another OEM for copying product style.
you can see Auto maker from US or Europe filing complain of China copy cat of Smart for two/ the China QQ car or the BMW SUV look alike....but normally its big co against small co.
for what I notice on Galaxy phone, the home screen don't feel like iOS but once you go into the menu with all the icon. It does and most phone ad tense to use the icon screen in promotion. Plus the shape of the new Galaxy to have resemblance of iPHONE3Gs. They can argue it is not exact copy but it does resemble it.
To make it worst is Apple claiming Samsung even copy the packaging....that's like claiming a big company like Samsung is lack of ideas.... in a way for one who know well how both company do business....maybe you will know which side you are on. But well...mean time we should expect more attack and counter attack will continue.
it is funny now apple is claimed by some site (can be easily googled) that A5 processor no longer made by Samsung but TSMC (only A4 is) and also news they have two Nand Flash supplier (Hynix and Samsung) while we rarely hear Samsung providing any LCD to Apple plus apple also not using any AMOLED.....just making me wonder....if the dispute get worst. Will Samsung be cut off from Apple supply chain. |

As much as I hate apple, I do agree with them on this. Samsung clearly are trying to compete with Apple, I remember when the galaxy s was realised last year, my first thought was "damn that looks like the 3gs". Then their new galaxy s has similar shape to the 4. It's clear on the tablet side, that Samsung are carefully checking Apple with the Samsung boss saying that Apple made the new iPad "very thin". They then changed their tab to follow suit.
Although the remakes of these products clearly outdo the features of apples features in relation to value for money (no wonder their shitting themselves). I believe though that in this day, this type of phone is very popular, but it does annoy me seeing companies having to copy an annoying company such as Apple. It just makes them look even worse. That's why I appreciate  line up, which is totally unique, because a company should compete, not copy.

Really, they should stop stealing...Look at the Audio Hardware on Samsung phones, not to mention the UI.

The thing with Apple is they release One Phone every year,
and in that time others are keeping up more advanced, I think apple just see
them as a threat and want to have a POP at all of them for this reason
ive lost count how many sues its been with them lol
also those Devices may look abit similar to those of Apple however they don't
sport iOS 4 so Apple are just a Big laugh at there own accord
