US Judge Grants Injunction on the Galaxy Nexus

Way to go, Apple. Those on the fence better get yours now.
http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3126934/apple-samsung-judge-bans-galaxy-nexus

apple has no case here, they only banned it because apple was crying about the "irreparable" damage done from selling gal nexus, they're so desperate that they would pay a 95million dollar bond for it knowing that google now=/= siri and that android has had voice search for a long time now..
what apple is trying to do here is decrease the influence of android, they are just desperate for more market share..we all know suing google over google now apple has no case whatsoever..

Yes, while I'm sure Google will be able to appeal the case, it still bugs me.

In the long run the apple will rot if they keep this kind of stuff up.

Iphone is the one who should be banned, they keep complaining that these phones have some of the iphone pattens!! the iphone is to damn plain, and they should be banned for using the pull down notification witch its been android's first feature..

I'd love to buy a nexus but I think we may see jb on our device(hacked on)
Anyway maybe we should buy a nexus to support google

its just the justice system around here bro..whoever has more money will usually win the case..i've seen hobos sentenced to 5 year in prison after turning himself in for stealing 20 dollars and ceos who stole millions of dollars get sentenced 30days in jail..
to be honest..the first iphone was somewhat of innovation, sticking touchscreen and phone together... but over the years apple has done nothing except patent trolling, what did they really add? wallpaper and siri? the amount of innovations we've seen on android has long surpassed whatever apple did..remember the fact that android got voice search first..

I read the article. Apple said in their obligatory statement that "phones are looking and feeling more like the iPhone and iPad".
Frankly, I've yet to see an iPhone as big as an SGS3. And everyone knows that Apple has had all kinds of problems/complaints about Siri.
Grow up, Apple. Your stuff was going to be duplicated (and made better) eventually.

Pretty sure the iPhone was not the first touch screen phone. Apple is not known for innovation, they are known for imitation with a slight twist. If anyone should be getting injunctions against their products, it is Apple.
- From my AOKP'd Hercuphone

I find it more than a little suspicious that the SAME JUDGE ruled in apple's favor in both this case & the galaxy tab case. I think I smell an iFan, how about you?
"This kind of blatant copying is wrong and, as we've said many times before, we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."
But it's ok when YOU steal ideas & blatantly copy designs, right? I'd like to see apple get sued for copying the LG Prada's design, the Xerox Alto's OS, and Google's notification bar.
God I hate this company. I cannot believe the bull**** they get away with. Every time they start to feel threatened they try to sue their competition into oblivion. Disgusting.

Didn't android get voice search functionality in Eclair that came out in 2009? Didn't siri come out in 2011? Yeah the judge is a total itool

Foxconn makes a ton of products for everyone and of all those companies, Apple is the only one to even acknowledge it and do something about it.

That was my point. Im not a fan of Apple or their IP strategy but I don't think they should be blamed entirely for their contractors activities.
However they must've decided to look the other way because horrible working conditions in Asian factories isn't exactly a new problem.

That's just a silly apples to oranges comparison...
I had to say it, sorry. Apple employees are just as happy as Google employees who are just as happy as Microsoft employees. They've all got amazing benefits and perks when you work for them.

I wonder if everyone in the jury owns an iPhone 4S in an Otter Box...? The thing I love most about my Samsung GS3 is the fact that it's not an iPhone.

Never stood a chance as this was held literally in Apple's backyard.
As for the future, who knows, but this is a really big deal. With what was granted, no phone maker will come close to an iphone design again for fear of a lawsuit with now a precedent. Worst case is manufacturers start to question if Android is a viable ecosystem considering everything it runs on is probably sue-able by Apple now.
They hopefully stop with Samsung and don't go further as Sammy was their biggest threat. But they might now set their sites on HTC as well and be the final nail in that coffin.
While this is bad enough, I think the worst is because it sets a standard and Apple now has control over what we know the mobile industry today.

lol and this is probably the best reason yet to never buy anything from apple i can understand protecting your ideas but it seems like most of the stuff they didnt even come up with

this sucks. but samsung can sue, when the iphone with LTE comes out samsung can sue apple because of the patents they have for LTE. with the divisons the samsung have they eat the billions, and get the money back with the parts they make for the iphone/ipad they make.

Everyone is complaining....its actually a win! Besides apple how many phones use or are now using samsung chargers? Easiest to use...win one. And you get a samsung for how much compared to apple? With better options, root, etc.
this isnt a loss....its an opening for real things and development for better things even more than apple with restrictions...and so on!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

This is far from a loss, Is apple the Antichrist? yes. is Samsung guilty? Hell ya
Samsung did copy Apple and because they were to lazy and careless, they got caught. Period. Yes, innovation is often achieved on improving and evolving a product of a rival company, but you just have to be a lot more slick about it. They had emails of them admitting it.
Now Samsung will be forced to innovate even harder and this will make our Galaxy 4's even more impressive.
And Android should be safe now the Google got the Motorola patents. They should be able to force Apple into some sort of an agreement, now the Steve Jobs has passed away.

I really hope android platform and look isn't affected by this verdict.
Phuck Apple

Hopefully this won't affect the sales of the S3. My upgrade isn't until Sept 1st and I really want the S3. I hate apple so much. You should see some of the posts I wrote about them on other forums. And if I were Samsung, I would quit making Apple's screens and components for some of their devices..

That defense worked for Microsoft when Apple tried to sue them over the icon interface. Microsoft claimed the icon interface came from Xerox. Apple eventually dropped the case.
Also, this is far from over. Samsung will definitely appeal. There are plenty of reasons for possibly winning under appeal.

The main reason for Apple go againist Samsung is Samsung is an important supplier for making apple products especially iphone. If you check history of Samsung phones model, they never have similar model until iphone 3g started to rise of global sales. Samsung then release products like instinct. I worked for a Canadian carrier and I remember Samsung was pushing hard with the Instinct model and had trainings and incentive for sales. Its normal to see competitors being copy cat because its all about money. But samsung was doing it too much. Remeber the smart cover incident? Galaxy tab 10.1 was launched with the same design of Apple smart cover and it was the relatives of the Boss of Samsung who made it. They had to pull away this product line right away. If Apple is a person and that is you. And your buddy Samsung is part of the supplier of your products which you spend a lot of times and energy to design. And one day he created similar product lines and make money from it and dont admit he is copying. So what would you do?
Just my thought, im not a fan of Apple or Samsung. Don't care. Whoever makes cool products and feed my lifestyle, I will buy and use it.
