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.

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

The tally mark for lawsuits Apple and Samsung are currently embroiled in with one another has reached 21. With Samsung being a real technology producer that Apple is absolutely dependent on, Apple may have bit off more than it can chew. They must think they're a different company than they are and forgot for a second that most of their sales aren't based on technology but marketing gimmicks instead. Samsung wants to teach the little Apple punks a little lesson. The saga continues. http://www.informationweek.com/news/hardware/handheld/231602074
The Netherlands is a Euro member that excludes itself from the rulings on bans of products by other Euro member states. Germany was a hit against the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a ridiculous one at that. Now Samsung is going after Netherlands to start. I expect its litigation to expand into Korea and Japan fairly soon.
Here are some great quotes hot off the presses. I love what I'm hearing.
“We’ll be pursuing our rights for this in a more aggressive way from now on,” Lee Younghee, head of global marketing for mobile communications, said Friday in an interview.
"We've been quite respectful and also passive in a way. However, we shouldn't be … anymore."
Earlier this week, an unnamed Samsung executive said that the company plans to take Apple's unannounced iPhone 5 to court in Korea the moment it debuts. "For as long as Apple does not drop mobile telecommunications functions, it would be impossible for it to sell its i-branded products without using our patents," said the exec. "We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights."
Samsung Executives are now also regularly referring to Apple as patent "free-riders." It looks like Samsung won't accept Apple's bull**** any longer and put it in its well deserved place. My message to Samsung. Show no respect for Apple as a competitor. They know nothing of the concept. They deserve everything you can throw at them. They started it, teach them a lesson.

What's the point of spreading around doom and gloom that will probably never come to fruition?
What the article fails to mention is that most of those patents could never be used to critically damage Google because Google could argue that it would destroy competition/ put them out of business/ create a monopoly. In other words, not happening.

This is why people need to stop using convenience as their sole criterion for deciding which product to purchase. Every purchase has ethical implications. If you give money to Apple, you're helping them perpetuate these atrocities.

I agree with this completely. All that would be required to stall a potential suit, is an anti-competition counter suit. Federal laws are in place to prevent power moves, like the ones Apple has been pulling lately.

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.

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 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.

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..

Interesting article, really had to click a link within that article to really read the goods.
From what I think is true, Samsung makes (most) of the processors for the iPhone. Isn't the LTE radio inside the processor? I don't understand what grounds Samsung will have to sue Apple for injecting LTE into their phones when Samsung most likely will provide the radio for Apple. After researching Samsung only owns 12.2% of the LTE patent and I guess has the right to sue Apple.
If Steve Jobs was still alive (RIP) I would say there would be no way Apple would jam LTE into their phones, who knows now though
I still don't understand what grounds of patent infringements Samsung will have to sue Apple, if Samsung wants to recover their money, bump the price for the processors they sell to Apple... haha
If a few of the android phone manufacturers have rights to the patent then Mabry it could become a lot bigger than just Samsung.
