I believe Apple is full of them selves. There is enough difference for even a moran to see.

That's the usual dirty trick Apple uses for trying to "exterminate" the potential real competitors!

Okay, when think about it. I want to rephase "apple" as "big companies"

The thing is there are some inventions that can only be designed one way. If apple sues samsung then palm should sue apple since the apple iphone is very close to the palm life drive.

Apple is suing everyone.. Amazon for the "app store' name, HTC, Motorola, and other companies for the 'swipe to do something' feature.. it's just a never ending story.

it sure took Apple a long time to notice the similarities between their products and Samsung's...or any other phone manufacturer for that matter. A dinner plate is like the moon if you point out enough common properties.
Apple: "Oh my god you copied the iPad and made it smaller, put cameras on it, and an sd card slot too?! shame on you! (...hey that camera idea is not bad..lets put them on the iPad2...)"

i can understand that they would see a imitation of the iPhone 3gs through the galaxy s.
but seriously, they are still selling iPhones like no other company is selling.
and their newest model, the iPhone 4 looks completely different.
and to say that Samsung is imitating the look and feel of the ipad with the galaxy tab is completely ridiculous.
they seem like small children,
this is my ball
no its my mine
give it to me
no
muuuuuuuum
XD

Tab and iPad..... white backs so they must be identical!!!!
Apple are going to sue me because I copied their designs.... my bathroom is exactly the same as an iPad..... white!!!

Reminds me of the Rolf Harris song ~ "Two little Boys had two little Toys".

Someone should go talk to the boys @ Xerox and see what they have to say about Apple and Intellectual Property..
...and on a side note, exactly how many different ways can you make a tablet and not have it be flat and rectangular with smooth edges ???

Fine until Samsung stops supplying parts to apple

Seems like this will see the end of rectangle devices with curved edged and devices with a black frame around the screen that are the same width.
I don't get why Apple don't just sue every manufacturer. It'll save them time as they're going at them one by one.
Its just such BS. Ill put a turtleneck jumper on my c0#k and sue Steve Jobs for stealing my idea.

All good points above. But understand this is the way of corporate America.
I am part owner of a company that imports musical instruments to the US. Specifically guitars.
I cannot tell you how many times I have received letters from Fender, Gibson, Taylor attorneys. NONE of my guitars are marked with these names, some of them do look similar.
But as has been said above, how many different guitar designs can there be? Made of wood, with a neck, 6 strings???
We have always replied stating that we do not use the name or photograph of THEIR product to sell ours. We have only once been sued by a guitar manufacturer for intellectual property rights violations. We fought, we won. But it cost us nearly $50k.
These corporations HAVE to do this. They have to draw a line in the sand and not allow others to infringe. Because at the point they no longer do that, they open themselves to ALOT of lost revenue.

I'll just leave this right here...

Found this article on www.cnn.com and kinda makes sence. I would love though to see samsung counter sue apple though imagine the amount of money they would get from iphone sales LOL.
but here is the article

http://www.zweipunktnull.org/blog/2...-und-wann-schaltet-sich-eigentlich-braun-ein/ <- great article but in German (but there are a lot of comparison pics)
it shows how Apple was inspired by (stole) the Design of the famous German Designer Dieter Rams of the Braun Company.

Apple Sues Samsung Electronics Over 'Galaxy' Phone, Tab

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110418-711262.html
SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--Apple Inc. (AAPL) sued Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (005930.SE, SSNHY) claiming the Korean electronics giant copied the look and feel of its popular iPhone smartphones and iPad tablet computers.
The lawsuit, filed on April 15 in the Northern District of California, alleged that Samsung's smartphones, such as the "Galaxy S 4G," "Epic 4G," "Nexus S" and its "Galaxy Tab" touchscreen tablet, violated Apple's intellectual property.
"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products," the lawsuit said.
Representatives of Apple and Samsung did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The lawsuit is sure to complicate the relationship between the two consumer electronics giants. Samsung makes microchips that are used in some Apple products.

and Since when TouchWiz seems / feels like iOS? it has nothing alike
Apple is playing the cry baby now, as 2010 sales of android jumped like 200% way over taking iOS, and mostly was thanks to Samsung and all of its like of Galaxy S products.

If you think Apple is the only tech company suing for frivolous and stupid things, and it fits your worldview that Apple is the devil, then it is a really pathetic sort of deliberate ignorance. There are so many tech companies suing each other right now, and counter-suing, it's part of their morning routine to let the lawyers out while sipping some finely brewed espresso.

here's something back from the era when Apple sued a toiled company for making something similar to these

I'm not an Apple fanboy, in fact quite the opposite. But the facts of this post are wrong. F700 was announced in Feb 2007 and showcased at 2007 CEBIT NOT 2006 show. And it was accused of being an iphone ripoff even back then.
Feb 8th 2007 date of video upload.
And if we want to be pedantic here.
The first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, launched in 1992. During this decade the popular iPaq (not made by Apple by the way) was launched with touchscreens and optional phone attachments. HTC, the leader in touchscreen phones up until the iPhone and makers of phones like the Nexus One launched their first touchscreen phone, the HTC Wallaby aka XDA in 2002.

In my opinion, the problem is that Apple is kind of feared. Android is being developed and, according to Google News, 350,000 Android terminals are activate every day, and this is a commercial strategy to stop Android's development.
Although, if I am not wrong, Samsung and Apple work "together" in a certain sense, because Samsung provides hardware for Apple products... So I can't get the reason of this lawsuit against Samsung. It is probably a commercial thing - Apple will "earn" MUCH money with this.

Didn't you know?? They give the definition of "unique" to a phone which has Samsung and LG components... And they're complaining for something which is not fair to complain for. TouchWiz UI and iOS UI are similar for the drawer and the app bar, and so what? I mean, that's a minor problem: imagine if those companies who are providing components for Apple stop doing it... I think giving them a "license" to use a (let's call it like that) similar interface is a good strategy...

Apple - BROAD Patent Granted - Or Was It?

PC Mag and about every other site is talking about it. Here is the excerpt from the end of their article.
Apple could conceivably restrict makers of touchscreen smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices from selling their products in the U.S. More likely is that Apple would reach a settlement with such competitors and start licensing its patented technology for a tidy new income stream.
If Apple does decide to play hardball and squeeze out rivals rather than set up cross-licenses, the source said, it's entirely possible that a court could find it in the public interest to scrap the patent rather than allow a monopoly on what has become a defining interface for an entire category of consumer devices.

Here is The Patent
Rather than post my entire rant.. these are my thoughts!
While I was proud to be one of the first saying people should stop freaking out... this article is MUCH better than mine.
This is the same as what if the first air regulator for diving was patented to include the general idea of breathing under water. What if Ford patented the idea of steering a 4 wheeled platform with a round object. I mean to say that if they tried to patented the idea that you can use your finger to manipulate objects on a screen it would never make it. That is to general. Besides wasn't there a Nokia phone that did that before apple? and I remember they did that on star trek and other scifi shows with real panels long before Apple.
No worries here.
^ They WERE granted the patent.
My point, every site seems to say it is some HUGE BROAD patent and every other competitor is either going to get out of the market or start paying Apply loyalties. But, that is not how I am reading the patent. I think they are wrong.
Advanced tech patents have been BS for decades. The Patent Office isn't not technically up to speed with the industry.
i don't know man...the way it reads to me is that apple essentially has a patent on multi-touch displays. your analogy of scrollable google maps within a page doesn't seem to make sense to me. maybe you can explain your thoughts on that part better?
it also sounds like they're describing multi-touch gaming such as Gun Bros where N finger would operate left joystick, and M finger would operate right joystick.
This is BS. Apple can come and lick my a**.

The one saving grace is that it's pretty clear the current patent system that dates back to George Washington in 1790 is clearly broken as it applies to technology. Should Apple start abusing their horde of patents to eliminate competition leaving them as the only purveyor of functioning smartphones and tablets governments worldwide will intervene. It's already started with Judge Posner throwing out the Apple v. Motorola case in Chicago with prejudice calling it "ridiculous" based on lack of or concocted damages. If Apple wins the Samsung case in California they'll lose anyway. It'll be the beginning of a massive move toward patent reform because in a democratic society you don't let one manufacturer control an entire industry whether their patents entitle them to or not.
Patent reform needed...

How exactly does Apple have patents for things they didn't invent? Oh, wait, I remember now, theft.
I'm not sure that Apple CAN be granted patents for technology that already existed - smartphones have been around far longer than the iPhone, despite what the Apple folks would have us believe and I had phones that were doing these sorts of things long before Apple came along.
The law may be an ass, but I don't think it's a complete tool.

Really funny how it's only Samsung and Samsung made devices that are on the hit list so far....
Though if they drag google into it then ALL android devices will be affected... Will be funny to see how this will pan out as before it was Apple (America - LA) vs Samsung (Korea) and Apple won, now it will be Apple vs Google (both America based) and that might be a fairer match...
Apples litigation only alienates consumers. I for one will never purchase another product from them no matter how good it is.
They should try competing with products instead of competing in the court room.
I mean after sometime you just lose respect - they are in news for these court cases lately. If they had put this much energy in improving their own product(s), they wouldn't have to fall back on "retina" every time a new (really ?) product was released..
Apple says everything. Whine, whine, whine...

Apple: if you can't innovate, litigate.
Yes Apple feel Samsung is catching up and also overtaking them in innovations in cell phones so they are taking the easy way out they already were embarresed by a UK court and their appeals are not in good shape in US also with bans lifted on Tab so I think they are going insane.
I never used to dislike Apple so much, but every time they pull out another lawsuit it just makes me want to convert everyone to Android.

Good advertising for Samsung and Apple just look like little *****es who go running to the courts everytime a bigger better toy is released....
I mean, they pretty much, in their last court case, said that Samsung is the same as them just cheaper... I too know a few people who shifted to Android because of the attention Apple put on Samsung products...

I never used to dislike Apple so much, but every time they pull out another lawsuit it just makes me want to convert everyone to Android.

I've converted 4 apple users to android and hopefully they can convert some more.
Girlfriend was reluctant but a hand me down gs2 from me did the trick. She on the gs3 now and iPhone 4 is a distant memory.
Well, as a matter of fact Android and Sammy-phones ARE better than Apple-CrAppel-Crap, and I am DEFINITELY NOT a tech-religious.
I had Motorola, I had Compaq iPaq, I had NOKIA with Symbian, I had HTC with WinCE, I have now Android, and when Win8 prooves to be fitting to my personal needs more than Android I will move on.
I had one iPad, and I put it away after 2 weeks since it prooved to be absolutely worthless for my personal needs in every respect starting with the stupid keyboard.
CrApple is not tech, it is religion, and we KNOW what misery most religions brought over the world in the past and now, and Apple is on his holy Jihad against rationality .......................
Apple is a wining kid who instead of fighting hard believes in loosing and crying over it and does not want to try again and win instead it believes in crying and wining over and over again
Watch out apple farmers everywhere.... You might be next....
Honestly, the way Apple's going you're going to have to pay $1 everytime you say Apple.... Bugger, might have given them a new idea... :silly::laugh:

I think Apple are feeling threatened. 30 million SG3's sold. Several million Note 1 and 2's sold.

Samsung should just man up and stop selling components to Apple.
