Apple really just needs to stop with this. It's make them look really insecure.
P.S. I have an iPhone so I have no agenda.
...Samsung has filed a few dumb lawsuits itself against apple...
"Cant we all just get along"
It's not fair competition if you've implemented someone else's ideas without permission or compensation. That should probably be "cancelled out."
Shame that it came to this. This injunction will hit Google where it really hurts.
Who is in the right? Well, I stand by my belief that Google did directly rip off of a lot of core software technologies in iPhone. That said, Apple is violating the spirit of competition with this lawsuit.
I think poor Samsung is the real loser here though.
1. A means of detecting and marking up data like a phone number or an e-mail address, and then initiating a phone call or an e-mail when the linked data is clicked
2. A means of searching multiple databases and sources for data.
3. A slide to unlock feature.
4. An autocorrect-type function that completes the word as a user types and allows the user to accept or reject the word.
This! Thank you! Everyone keeps talking about "competition" this and that- taking someone's patents is not fair competition! That's cheating and it destroys innovation by removing the incentive to innovate.

Making hardware that looks nothing like your hardware when your going after the software. Well HTC does the same as every other Android phone.
That said Samsung is probably what scares Apple's executives considering they where partners so I can see as human as they are they hold a grudge.
Will be interesting to see what happens and how long it last.

Problem is Steve Jobs was wrong. These patents, and their enforcement, are completely ridiculous.
And you know this how ?
Becasue I don't share the collective thought that apple can do no wrong and know that this phone is about as different from an iPhone that a touch screen smartphone can get.
By cancelling out competition? Nope.
Now these is stupid (not to you andy) why when someone points out something "bad" about apple or iDevice they need to point out that they have one in order for the post to be "approved"![]()
The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Siri-like functionality.
Apple sees Google's OS and $349 unlocked price and sues everything in sight. They see a major threat and go for the jugular legal-wise. Psst: it's called competition.
Sigh. Apple seems to want nobody to push them with competing products.
I would like to know what four programs Google stole that is causing this suit.
