I dont think people are getting it.
Its not about copying. iOS 5 copies that stupid (IMO) pulldown that is totally unintuitive to a new user, and I don't really like it, but it doesn't make me confused about what OS or HW Im using.
What apple is alleging is that by ripping off so many things in combination, samsung are confusing potential customers about the HW and SW (at least on a superficial level).
That, IMO is the key, and brings Samsung down to the level of cheap chinese knockoffs, which they really should be above because they are capable of so much more.
No one ever confused an iPhone with a win-mobile or a crappy moto phone when it came out, it stood on its own merits, even if they took ideas that existed before.
This will be good for Samsung in the long-run, so, whatever, theyll just have to be more original..."
