Apple copied Alexander Graham Bell.

...you people don't get it, do you?
This is the most brilliant win-win. Win: Apple can shut down Samsung if they find something they can sue for/argue with. Win: Apple sees ALL the design and engineering, so they can learn from the superior design ideas and laugh at the flaws and clumsy bits.
Brilliant, but evil.
The LG Prada was released in the spring of 2007, and the iPhone in June of 2007. If I'm not mistaken the iPhone was actually announced prior to the release, and announcement of the Prada.
Please tell me you're not referring to MotoBlur?!
there's only so much u can do with a touch smartphone design wise, they all kidna look alike ^^ more or less plastic

actually there's much you can do and look different to the iPhone, some examples:

Just some examples, you get the idea. samsung just copied to get the people that want a cheaper iphone-looking device.
Different? Yes. But ugly as heck.
I thought people got iphone/mac because it just works? Not because something looks like an iphone?
And before you bash me as an apple hater, check my previous posts. All my pcs are Mac and I have a 3GS.
whether something is ugly or not is a matter of opinion. i was simply pointing out that you can make a smartphone that doesn't look like an iphone, but you missed my point.

some other ppl said that the samsung galaxy s 2 (what a stupid long name btw) looks just like the iphone if u flip it bc of the home button, now look at all those HTC phones, they also got the home button exactly at the same spot. saying they copied the home button feature is redic, and i dont mean u by that and btw, the first 2 u showed have physical keyboards, they dont count
again you miss the point lol. it's not just the home button.
look at this picture and you'll get why this case exists, it's not random parts like just a similar home button, it's the overall look of the whole device.
Samsung copied, as long as you only look at 1 picture from 1 specific angle. Looking at the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 from all angles tells a different story :
The bezel looks "the same" from the front, but on the side, you can see it's much different. It's also a darker shade of chrome. The back is completely different from the iPhone 3GS this is supposed to be copying.
Basically, it's only the same if you use cherry picked pictures and angles.
As for the "UI" being the same, that's not the homescreen you're seeing when you look at the grid of icons, that's the App Drawer. The homescreen on the Samsung TouchWiz GUI looks like this :
Again, copying is in the eye of the beholder, don't let Apple's fanbase numb you into a frenzy against Samsung. This case isn't so quite clear cut as many make it sound.
Let's not even go into the other models (Captivate, Fascinate, EPIC, etc..) or the Galaxy Tab. Those don't even come close on a hardware level.
Cherry picked picture aside, look at all the angles of the phone, and you'll see how you're being mislead. Better yet, compare both phones side by side for real and come back and tell us with a straight face you could confuse them.
That picture is not even scaled properly, the Samsung phone is bigger than the iPhone by quite a margin.
you miss the point, bravo. the promo pics for the samsung is the one i use in the post above, plus as you admit, it looks the same from the front, which is where most people actually look when you use the phone. you're really clutching at straws commenting on the back, etc and you basically admit it's copied from the iPhone when you look at it from the front! lol.
I'm sure I can also find a picture of you that looks like a hobo. The point is, cherry picked pictures won't work in court where this will be decided. The judge will look at the devices themselves, and as the devices go, it's not so easy to claim 100% certainty that they do look the same.
And while Samsung Galaxy S II might sound "stupid", at least they came up with their device's name for themselves, instead of taking someone else's trademark and only asking for permission after releasing the device, like some other fruit vendors did.
the first 2 u showed have physical keyboards, they dont count
the judges have already decided there is grounds due to granting access, which means they think they devices look similar enough, but feel free to ignore that fact so it suits your argument... which is so weak you have now dragged in some irrelavant comment about the name? lol. the iPhone name is not what's involved here.....
yes they do count, they're still smartphones designed differently to the iPhone.
thanking you for proving you failed to even read the article. All apple even gets is a plastic shell. Nothing else and that is assume that Samgsung does not appeal it and keep it tied up in the courts.
Also I noticed people are taking the pictures to compared by looking at the App drawer sorry that is not the home key being pressed to bring that up. Home screen on the 2 are very different.
oh look, a bunch of random photos from google image search, all looking like the iPhone cheap knockoff it is:
The funny thing is that there's no question Samsung is intent on ripping off Apple, I mean they have a damned Apple imitation group whose sole purpose is to try and copy Apple. How the Hell can we even argue about this?

Wow, that's some serious evidence and proof right there! I'm shocked and appalled.
BTW, did you know Hilary Clinton adopted an alien baby ?

I know right...![]()
Why do people keep thinking the Galaxy isn't selling? Maybe in America, but in South Korea, it is incredibly popular. I see it more often than the iPad in public, but I imagine it is because it is smaller.
