Keep ignoring the evidence. Keep ignoring all the phones that were just like the iPhone prior to it. Keep those fingers tightly in your ears.
I'm keeping my horse out of this race, but your image is an unfair comparison. You can't compare the iPhone's design to dumb phones' designs and point out there's a difference. While they were made by Samsung, they aren't in the same category of device which makes their existence here useless. It's almost like saying "Samsung released a dryer in 2009 that doesn't look like an iPhone, too!"
And, the fact that he was sitting on Apple's Board during iPhone talks.Let's not forget that Eric Schmidt was let go from Apple's Board of Directors for basically stealing the iPhone design.
Of course the phone design is going to radically change. The OS that they are using is a radical change. None of the previous smartphone OS's that Samsung using were really anything like Android, which is 100% touch screen based. The thing with a touch screen design is that it is going to be basically ALL SCREEN on the front, much like Apple's iPhone.
And, the fact that he was sitting on Apple's Board during iPhone talks.
It's quite obvious Samsung copies Apple in almost everything:
1. I didn't make it. Fail on you.
2. Yes he was. Don't believe the 'nice' story that was put out there.
This is stupid...Apple wants to try to prove that had the iPhone not been around, we wouldn't have Androids like we do today?
You cannot prove an uncertainty.
? did you look at the photo?
At some point, you have to protect your intellectual knowledge and what you've CREATED, not copied.
This goes for any company.
I realize it does look silly, but let's say you started a company, created something fantastic and were ready to make millions. Then I came along, stole your design and ideas, then made millions.
I don't know you about you, but if the roles were reversed, I would want to go thermo-nuclear on you (or whomever that person/company was)
These Lawsuits do not make Apple look bad, it makes them look strong. It sends a direct and clear message that if you're going to rip off their work they are going to come after you. But alas kids, trolls and recently registered armchair muppets don't understand this.
Why must Eric Schmidt be some evil guy ?
It's quite obvious Samsung copies Apple in almost everything:
And that baffles me. Why Apple is going after hardware vendors instead of Google? I'm tired of hearing that Android was started to be developed before the announcement of the iPhone. Yes it was, but it was also a Windows Mobile and BB rip "clone". It later was changed to an iPhone OS "clone".
Really? We can start with Gorilla Glass, if you'd like.
Companies don't innovate, this is such misconception. Companies combine, that's all.
Real innovation is government funded. Get over it, even you Apple.
really? these images again?
The exterior is different? Or do you think it's a copy because they have a rear camera? OMG
