Did this surprise you? Just wait until Google and Motorola **** Apple in their asses. Some won a small battle. But they started a war that they can't win.

I don't know man, since most of this is new territory, "case law" will play a role in some decisions, and now Apple has case law on their side of things when it comes to suing Android mfg's
This is of course not going to affect any of us directly, or our phones, or the future of Android, but it may be the first of many long, drawn out rapings of Android mfg's. Which in turn could discourage companies from jumping on the Android bandwagon.
APPLE is a cry baby.

The jurors all got free iPads lmao. Even though, i'll never buy an Apple product ever!

I don't even understand how apple won. The rectangular shape is one of the few and effective ways to make a cell phone. What do they expect, circular phones?
This is not over by a long shot, Judge Lucky (I didn't miss-spell it) Koh will have her ass handed to her in the appeals court, I am pretty sure the appeals court will throw out this verdict. All her judgements have been overturned in the appeals court.
Btw, all Sammy has to do is change up the designs a bit and there ya go.
The jury pool was tainted, how in the hell can you have a jury based out of silicon valley?
Anyway I am sure Sammy will be just fine.
Most other countries have already throw out these cases.
This lawsuit effects old phones, only real liability is the stupid Judge in this case, she might ban Samsung all together, she is an idiot of course. That is why we have an appeals process in this country.
BTW, if you are wondering why Google waited so long to file a lawsuit after they bought Motorola it's because they researched the hell out of the apple infringements. Apple just woke up a sleeping giant. Time will tell.
I blame Samsung for trying to copy iOS to begin like the icons on galaxy s 1, one of the reasons I didn't like it now they went more Android like so I like that

Wow this is sad to hear that CrApple won the case that they deserved too loose. I think the judges go with apple just because of the reputation. I just hope that google and motorola gets thei **** together and do those patents to take down apple.

hes just trying to sell his product, that is all. what do you expect him to say, anything manufactured by his company and sold by crApple to stay away from? thats something that i would say..
The IP5 may indeed spank the SGSIII in some people's eyes, they do get to have a standard to go against now, it's an endless game of leapfrog and trying to raise the bar.
I'm an outlaw though, it's hard to be an outlaw with an Iphone, that's more of a yuppy/emo/hipster thing.

Won't iPhone 5 be released like 4-5 months after initial international release of S3? That's an eternity for technology. I'd sure hope it beats the S3 handily.

I do believe the iPhone 5 will be a nice device but remember these are the same people that convinced iPhone 4 owners that they needed to by an iPhone 4S because of Siri and people actually believed they owned the best device because of this.
Luckily Android users are smarter then that and do not buy into the whole hype building from these manufacturer's. We need to see the worth in the upgrade or a lot of us will not spend the money like iHippies.
Plus we already saw what iOS 6 is bringing to the table, one of the main focuses is Siri fixes. lol
I dunno...
The thing holding back the GNex, SGSII, SGSIII and other Android devices is the AMOLED screen. If they had the display of the iPhone 4s but larger, it would spank the iPhone with one hand tied behind it's back.

Pretty much expected. What all of this patent ridiculousness really unveils is how monumentally idiotic IP patents have become.
Not to be a fan boy, but Apple can sue as much as it wants, but they cannot avoid the fact that Android is open, flexible, free and modular. Hardware manufacturers can fight for the right to say they have the best hardware, while Google and hard working independent devs can churn out better software, almost independent of one another. The mix of those things will push the envelope of what our devices can do.
Sorry Apple, but innovation and customer choice will still continue to kick you in your expensive, well engineered shiny balls.

Wait what?...
Apple had to pull all their iPads and iPhones from shelves in s.Korea, and Sammy is currently withholding then licensing for the 4g LTE radios apple needs for the iPhone 5. Apple won't agree to the price Sammy wants, Sammy is basically trying to make apple pay themselves in the end by jacking up then licensing fees for the LTE radios that work with the processors apple uses in the iPhones. Smart move IMO
We are legion, for we are many.

Samsungs got it in the bag with sgs3 and note 2 ....keeping the excitement alive with new innovation instead of flipping the old one around like Apple is doing. Seriously i was expecting much more from Apple they certinally have enough money to try new stuff so why arent they? i guess they are done, they are being blinded by the few ignorant sheep that call them "god" of phones. What about smart people who know their was something better from the G1 days,Apple cant compete i guess.

I would attribute the difference in software performance to the fact that companies put most of their resources into iOS development first then android. So you get a much more refined software on ios then you would on android.
It's honestly a flop. The back of the device is cute but besides that.. 4 Inch 4s. Same exact design and everything. I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad lol. I'm not even a legit Apple hater because i wanted the first Iphone (don't you lie and say you didn't want it when it first came out). Pretty funny though to be honest since i've been saying the 5 would be this ever since the rumors began like last year. :highfive: The ONLY thing i can honestly say apple wins over android is Apps. Been saying it for years even though i'm an android fan it's just the honest truth. The apps are better and always comes out first on IOS.
All-in-all a pretty standard upgrade across the board in typical apple fashion.
FINALLY the screen is at least somewhat larger. Fit and finish as always looks to be top notch. The single dynamic antenna is cool. I'm sure the new A6 processor will benchmark impressively. The camera looks to be even better and will likely be the best on a smart phone for the time being.
Some disappointments would be the lack of NFC technology (which Apple holds a lot of patents on, I would expect it to be integrated in two years on the new hardware model or next years refresh at the earliest), and the fact that battery life appears to be the same as the 4S (no improvement), new connector is kinda a bummer (although it was definitely time to upgrade)
Overall its a pretty substantial spec/hardware bump all around, and since people still buy them in droves I don't think Apple had much reason to do much of anything else.
A lot of the improvements are also part of iOS 6, the biggest of which appears to be seamless facebook integration from nearly anywhere.

Very true, which is why it was such a sigh of relief when all the GSIII's in the U.S. have identical specs.
In addition to a more refined software experience, the huge iPhone user base using essentially the same phone ensures that when a breakthrough app is conceived it will inevitably be made for iOS first and foremost in nearly all cases
