Anyway we get it. You don't respect Apple.
And i don't get all of this "copy" hoopla... can't really make a tablet look drastically different, it's a freaking screen with a bezel and a few buttons for volume and power and a headphone jack for goodness sakes...
No, you don't get it, that's the point. I respect Apple when they do good moves or release good products. I don't respect them when they spew bullcrap on the industry. That's called being objective and having critical thought.
Of course, you just see the negative because it's easier to paint me as a "hater and troll" than it is to actually try to argue an objective and factual point when you have none like in this case.
And I surely don't respect people who cheer Apple for doing something yet get mad when another vendor does the exact same thing. I highly value consistency in one's comments towards the industry. Favoring a player and giving them "carte blanche" because they happen to have a fruit for a logo is not consistent. It's borderline religious.
Not to mention the Galaxy tabs don't look anything like iPad. About the only valid point in Apple's case is the Galaxy S i9000 (international model) and then, only from a specific angle with a specific UI feature displayed (app drawer).
Of course leave it to the druid to be too stuck in his forest to see it for the trees. We've pretty destroyed all the "photo evidence" that made Apple's case "rock solid". It's not pretty much in the hands of the judge as the case isn't quite as clear cut as some media outlets make it seem.
Anyway, moot point, if this rumor is true and Apple does go for the same curvature that the Nexus S has, Mr. Droid and his acolytes will cheer Apple on all the same and won't give a 2nd thought at calling Samsung a bunch of copycats.
how do you know it won't happen? If apple purchased 200-300 machines to cut the glass what do you think they are going to use them for? I know not all rumors pan out, but you think a macrumors site is going to not post this article?No way in h*ll this will happen...they did the curved screen, got rid of it...pretty sure the latest iPad Nano isn't curved....this is nothing but another craptastic rumor that'll never see the light of day. Why even bother reporting on this trash?
Why do I want a curved glass phone?
ask nexus s owners... i have heard nothing but good things about the screen. certainly nobody complaining about its curved nature.isnt curved a step backwards?
Curved glass TV tubes evolved into flat panel tvs, did they not?
Curved glass? That's so un-Apple!
I just hope Apple finds a way to incorporate LiquidMetal into the next iPhone!![]()
What if it's for the back?
I'm guessing the back will be curved like a pebble to better fit the contours of your hand. This already sounds above and beyond anything competitors have come close to, design-wise.
google search found this old mockup

Good point about reflectivity. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection... A while ago a concept designer friend of mine (Andy Probert, who worked on the original Battlestar Galactica, Back to the Future and other productions during the 80's) said he would love to see a curved slider. I don't think Apple will go for the slider part, but he'll be intrigued to see the curve if they do it.
