This is BS verdict for real. They brought in a jury that knew nothing about patents laws. The judge had to give them a crash course in it. Fishy business. So do this mean no galaxy s4. What's next apple going sue Google claiming Android os infringed on apple BS ios

This was all about the older samsung phones I think, I don't see it affecting our current or future galaxy devices.

I sure hope not. Samsung need to stick it to apple or just development for them all together
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
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.

The fact that Samsung were awarded nothing at all in their counter claim just proves that the whole thing was rigged...can't wait for the Note 2. Even before I bought my first Samsung phone I was never fond of apple products and this just increases my stance.

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..

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

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!

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..

Well...To be honest ...this may very well go super nova..or even viral. Meaning this case will see the doors of the u.s. supreme court. Where we all know apple will not stand a chance with such a petty sue. Stay strong Samsung!

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.

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.

Ain't no way I would buy any of their products.

They can keep their "iSuck" and all their iCrap
Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy S2 using my fingers. Duh!!!
I think it's mainly because there's only one Apple phone releases a year and there's a million Android devices every year. Android now owns more than 70% market share. If the Nexus was the only Android device available, 7 in 10 people would have a Nexus, 2 would have an iPhone, 1 would have a Windows 8 phone and one 1 Blackberry. With the Nexus being the best, its retail value would be higher than the iPhone. It's not that the Apple has high resale value. It's that there's only one IPhone a year from one manufacturer and it happens to be second place in market share. Completely understandable.

It comes down to the simple fact that they want to stop all competition by suing everyone because they can't innovate. And they want to charge exorbitant amounts for what they sell. Their thinking is that they should be the only ones around and you either pay their high prices or did without. They are nothing but crooks that are clogging up the legal system to make themselves richer but the moment while people have to scrape and save just to have food. My strong opinion and wish is that their stock drops rapidly and they company dies a quick death cause. That company just makes me sick.

If the Nexus was the only Android device available, 7 in 10 people would have a Nexus, 2 would have an iPhone, 1 would have a Windows 8 phone and one 1 Blackberry.

11/10 people. I see.
Also, apple is good at marketing and developing a 'cult' for their brand. Additionally, their devices are simple and limited (insert vehicle comparison analogy here). I am never able to use a modern OS without getting OCD'd to skin/theme/flash/etc so no Apple for me, like most of the people here.
Apple produces social phones with the support of some socialists.

The iphone does not suck its a kick ass phone they also make the best tablets in my honest opinion but I will still never buy another Apple product again...i don't like how they move jobs overseas. If they kept them here they would still make a profit.. They are so big of a company that they could single handedly make a giant dent in the unemployment rate in the United States and offer many people an honest job. Instead its a game to them to see how much money they can aquire when they do not actually need it and never will. I am aware that they are not the only company to do it but it still passes me off... So f*** apple and their rotten greed. I would he happiest if their company went under and they lost everything

Yeah but apple isn't going to fail anytime soon. The company is huge and the average consumer loves their products because they are simple and they just work. If my galaxy s 4g wasnt rooted and custom rom'd then i wouldnt even be able to use it for simple tasks. The average person doesnt have the time for all that. They want something that works properly and works really good. Not everyone wants to mod and constantly theme their device every day of the week. You can do that with apple if you jailbrake your device anyways. I don't understand why do you guys take things like this so personally. So what if apple does what it does. Does it have any relevance with our life or take anything away from you? No. They aren't taking away from YOUR market share or taking away your money so why should it even matter to any of you at all. I'm only in high school and it seems like I understand this better than you guys. It really is not a big deal at all. I know that my next phone isn't gonna be another android unless they come out with a 32gb nexus. I don't have a problem with apple and sure as helI don't have the time to waste constantly tinkering and "fixing" my phone all the damn time just to get it to work. If I don't relash my phone every 2 month, how slow it is is just unbearable.

There is more to it besides android vs apple.. And since you are in high school I will overlook your ignorance.. But when you are out of high school and looking for a job but can't get one because companies like apple would rather get super cheap labor than give back to the country that abled them to do so much.. Then maybe u will be singing a different tune.

My biggest issue with them is their constant law suits against competition that do nothing but clog up the legal system. Those who gain that much power become scared of losing that power and eventually fall hard.
