As they should have. I thought that after playing with the fascinate on it's release months ago.
Again, if you read this thread, It was announced there but not shown, it wasn't actually shown anywhere until Feb 07...... You're looking silly now.
The samsung was already presented in 2006 before the iPhone was there
Its called criticism, People should not be D!ck riding anything. Apple is doing a a D!ck move right now. They seem to believe they invented the touchscreen, the smart phone, and apps. When we all know these where around far before apple. Apple should not have claims to combining them.

Consultant said:1) Show me something that works as well BEFORE Apple demoed the iPhone.
2) Technology =/= usability.
3) If you hate Apple then why are you doing here?
1) The list is endless.
2) Even six year old kids know this
3) Try showing some respect, the poster does not hate.
Remember the value of an intelligent exchange of thoughts and experience is of far greater value when approached with an open mind.
Does it need to be said on every page? It certainly wasn't; it was announced in February 2007, after the iPhone.
Already guilty he?No, this has gone far further than criticism. This should be a reasonably level debate about how a company has ripped off the look and feel of the iPhone for their own gain.
Only its not, the NExus S doesnt look like and doesnt work and feel like an iphone.The whole thing is about look and feel, and Apple have rightly protected that look and feel, and are rightly upset about people copying it.
Apple is trying to copywright a very generic makeup, a makeup already shown before the iphone was even released. Of course people will criticise that. Of course the minute you do speak against apple's policy you are a "hater" .There are some excellent comments on this thread about the situation, but are the haters listening? Nope. Not in the slightest. Instead, we're reading drivel being posted about people who don't want to understand the concept of protecting IP.
I bought my wife and android phone, works fine, get an iphone works also fine. Imac and windows 7 pc all work fine, apple tv, ipad,...And why are you here - if you are an Android fan? Of course you won't be batting for Apple when you already jumped ship.
At the end of the day - so what if people want to hear good things about Apple on this site - its an APPLE FAN SITE FFS. THE CLUE IS IN THE *********G NAME OF THE SITE - MACRUMORS.
Gees.
Apple then show the world how to do it, and it really is as simple as that. I wasn't even an Apple person then, and when I finally saw an iPhone, it was a real eye opener. Here was finally a phone that looked good and worked well.
Which is exactly why they shifted millions of the things despite having a poor hardware spec compared to Nokia/SE/Motorola/etc.
It was announced before the iPhone but was 'shown' after the release of the iPhone.
No one knew what the f700 looked like or what it was. It was just a touch screen phone planned for a later release.
When I say announced I should have said unveiled, but regardless the point is the same. The iPhone was shown and sold first so there's no copying.
Funny, Apple specifically mentioned the UI, so they think they can. If you can't defend the UI, why do people keep bringing up the Prada (although the UI's are very different through anyone but an apple haters glasses)?
No, quite honestly it's really not that debatable at all. Where's Android's GarageBand? Keynote? Pages? OmniFocus? Carcassonne? Death Rally? Netflix? TabToolkit? DJay? World of Goo? Infinity Blade? Reeder? Flipboard? The list goes on. And on. And on.
Of course Android has...Google Maps with voice.
You dont design a phone in weeks
Anyone doesnt matter LG prada WAS shown before iphone and they share just as much .
"Poor man's iPhone"???unlike the galaxy which is a poor man's iPhone.
"Poor man's iPhone"???
You do realize they cost the same don't you?
As for similarity in looks, put a chrome bezel around most phones and they will "look similar" to an iPhone.
Look at almost any current smartphone and you'll see the shapes are almost identical.
One glaring difference between the iPhone and the Galaxy S is the Galaxy S is a bigger phone with a bigger screen.
So I take it you don't want any more medications, yes? Because the only ways pharmaceutical companies can make back the tremendous investments in new drugs are either to:
1) take advantage of government-granted patents to exclude competition (which can easily reverse-engineer and duplicate the drugs) for enough time to allow the companies to pay back their research money and earn a profit
-OR-
2) charge thousands of dollars (or more) a dose in the short time window before the competition reverse engineers and copies the drug.
And there are many more examples.
8 weeks impossible to design let alone show something.well from what i see, the first working model was in march, that's 2 months.
anyway you put that phone side by side with the iPhone and it's not similar, unlike the galaxy which is a poor man's iPhone. apple have specified the galaxy, not the F700.
its funny how people are trying to deflect the fact the galaxy is a practial ripoff of the iPhone by claiming the f700 and the iPhone look alike....
look at motorola's and htc's android phones, much different designs compared to the iPhone
To quote myself, I said "most phones", not all.i said poor man's iPhone as it looks like a cheap knockoff.
Again you miss my point, it's not just the chrome bezel, it's all the things adding up to it, the bezel, the shape, samsungs touchwiz UI which is a ripoff of the iPhone UI, which you see in the promo pics for the device. Actually i think you're wrong, adding a chrome bezel to the HTC desire or legend and it they won't look like the iPhone, plus they made the effort to make sense UI different.
It's funny that some people are missing certain things out cos it doesn't suit their argument against apple
Is this even true? I don't think Netflix is out for any Android device. It will only be available on newer devices that have specifically worked with Netflix for security as well.Actually there are a few devices now that have netflix, and Keynote, and pages are debatable when you have equally good software like quickoffice(love it on my Nokia). I did a quick google and I think DJay is out for Android now, same goes or Reeder. I know Android crud, but do some research, even for 1min if you have to.
