The verdict is out and Apple wins…no surprise really…had a feeling they would win, though I wanted Samsung to win…
$1.05 Billion dollars to be paid to Apple :hayaa: (they had requested for $2.5 Billion!!!)
These are the stuff I found interesting :
**“****As part of its lawsuit, Apple also demanded that Samsung pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the U.S. market. A judge was expected to make that ruling at a later time.”
**
If this happens then what will happen to people who want the Galaxy…should I get one now…though I don’t think it would have an impact on the Canadian market…or maybe I should just wait..they’ll probably come out with something much better later on
**“After the verdicts were read, the judge sent the jury back to deliberate further on two inconsistencies involving about $2.5 million in damages awarded to Apple based on products jurors found didn’t infringe Apple’s patents. Those deliberations were continuing.”
**
**"Samsung conceded that Apple makes great products but said it doesn’t have a monopoly on the design of rectangle phones with rounded corners that it claimed it created.
**Google entered the smartphone market while its then-CEO Eric Schmidt was on Apple’s board, infuriating Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who considered Android to be a blatant rip off of the iPhone’s innovations. After shoving Schmidt off Apple’s board, Jobs vowed that Apple would resort to “thermonuclear war” to destroy Android and its allies."
in one way or another way, Android is primary threat to Apple. An operating sys supporting different h/w, what else one can dream to pick long range of devices.
How can they ask Samsung to remove there phones from the US Market? Jealous much?
And if that happens, my S3 will be a rare and priceless gadget that would prolly sell for thousands !
I don't know the detials on the case but it does kind of sound absurd. Agree with the following: *"Samsung conceded that Apple makes great products but said it doesn’t have a monopoly on the design of rectangle phones with rounded corners that it claimed it created."

Samsung got hit where it should be. now even Google have to look at the business plan for android.
the only player getting something out of this is Nokia/MSFT.

I don't know why you get so worked up? I wonder if you are Steve Jobs son or something? I was clearly joking man and I even said I am biased.
Worked up How? you read the report right? even if your biased and still don't think samsung copied apple, it's not worth arguing and saying anything.
Calling someone a monkey because they prefer a certain phone is not exactly polite. Oh, also I didn't deny that Samsung copied iphone niether did I argue over the fact. Go back and read my response to firenze.
!
Apple is coming off as how dare Samsung rain on our parade? Okay fine I know I’m biased.
We are polite - fact of the world.
