Yeah now a judge in korea should rule that i phone and pods tabs etc cant be sold in korea, then they would only be able to buy an Iron.

Completely ridiculous, seeing that iphones and ipads are mostly made by samsung anyway.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

just apple trying to stop a superior/cheaper product from eroding its market share.

If you can't beat 'em, sue 'em.

The judge said that Samsung designed its tablet to make it look like an iPad in minimun details. A copycat indeed.

Screw Apple, I guess they can't handle the competition. I think that Palm should sue Apple for copying their designs. They were around way before IPads and IPhones.

Wow! Judges really have a lot of power. This is so wrong.

Glad I got mine already. Apple makes a good fruit juice, though.

And before iPads, iPhones and Palm, there was the Apple Newton. At the time it was great! Handwriting recognition, the internet in your pocket in the days before WiFi. When you connected up with a telephone cable.

Newton was dying and some Apple staff members jumped ship and started Palm.

But, sorry to disagree, but there was NOTHING like the iPad before it.

This is not so shallow as you think. There are billions of dollars, thousands of jobs, stores, personnel involved. Have you taken a good look at what Samsung has launched last couple of years? EVERYTHING is copied to milimeters to look like Apple devices. Take the example of last year's trial in Holland, when a judge asked Samsung engineers to tell a iPad from their own tablet from a distance of 1 meter: they simply couldn't, making clear their way of doing business is copying everything that other companies do better. Of course, that's not news. Every niche in the market has similar products, from cars to soaps. But what is wrong, e.g., is if Toyota launches a car that is a mirror of a BMW to minor details and advertises it as their own creation. To prove that Apple is right, Samsung had to design Galaxy III themselves, instead of copying - again - the iPhone classic format. And more than that, Samsung has constantly released "versions" of apps and softwares that are protected by law, and that cost billions to tech companies to acquire. I am not American, nor Korean, but if I were an American I would never buy from a company that is not ashamed of stealing ideas from engineers and designers that work for their rival, stealing also jobs, investiments. Apple has elements of other companies in their devices, but notice: all of them were bought, not a single one is a copy or was stolen. Samsung is the modern Chinese shing-ling industry: copy, copy, copy. Or, if you can't copy, then steal.

So when is copying right? Oh, I forgot Bill Gates.

Pirates of Silicon Valley, haha!

when a judge asked Samsung engineers to tell a iPad from their own tablet from a distance of 1 meter:

close, it was lawyers working for samsung. Samsung should have hired some smarter more prepared lawyers.
