I feel sorry for the poor folks in Australia. Some of them will mistakenly buy a Galaxy Tab instead of an iPad.

What if they like it even more?

Like you didn't understand the first time you don't the second time. For those that live in tanks i repeat:


The sole purpose of this is to do damage and to delay. Apple is doing quite well here.

I believe they will now have to pay Samsung for lost profits.
 
We have to win this for Steve. He showed us the beauty of spiteful infringement lawsuits.
 
I think its just a matter of time before Samsung gets it's way all over the globe. I think Apple is gonna have to keep innovation ahead of the competition.
 
Can you please tell us in your own words your knowledge of the specific patent laws being contested and why they should not be ?

The Australia lawsuit was based on touch screen and gesture patents, not the appearance of the products.
 
Because a law was broken by the sale of patent-infringing merchandise that's basically tantamount to straight-forward theft?

Your response is no less comical than someone saying "a guy at work wants to buy a stolen car, why shouldn't he be able to?" Gosh, I don't know, maybe because a law was broken?

Are you saying this as an individual well-versed in copyright law or as an Apple fanboy? Companies regularly skirt the law on some aspects of copywritten material, but it is not 'tantamount to theft'.

Oh and the stolen car analogy was weak. Car manufacturers are constantly ripping off each others' designs. Just look at Audi.

Will you answer or do you just will troll again?

I wonder why most of your posts sound like this:

'Why?'
'What?'
'What did Samsung steal?'

If they didn't steal/infringe, Apple's case against Samsung would have been dismissed on the very first day.

To a lot of people, it is clear how Samsung actually stole Apple's product in terms of design, software and marketing. If its not that obvious to you, at least do not sound rhetorical by asking the same question again and again and ignoring the entire lawsuit series b/w the two; and then ask people to stop trolling.

Design wise, they look similar, but not identical. the iPad wasn't the first to have the design. Samsung had a digital frame that looks a whole lot like the iPad in the front. It came out before the iPad did. Sure, they are not the same kind of device, but all that matters should be "Which company had the design first?" and that's Samsung.

Android looks nothing like iOS. Period.

Samsung doesn't market the same way Apple does. Period.
 
You know reading through these responses, I now know what people mean by the words "fanboy" or "blind follower." Honestly, when people say you lot are of a different breed, they weren't kidding. For you, when the courts rule in Apple's favor, they are absolutely correct in doing so. When they rule against Apple, it's considered a completely botched decision and the competitor is still considered to be the pathetic "copycat."
Just because this is an Apple centric forum, doesn't mean it is a forum void of any logic or common sense thinking. For some of you, it almost seems like the second you buy an Apple product, you become like the borg. You lose all individual thought and use words like, "We", "Us", "Them", etc...
Apple doesn't care what happens to you or your family. So why act like they are your family? :confused:
 
Lets take it step by step, please.

Design wise, they look similar, but not identical.
Submission? The last time we discussed, you said the tab looks nothing like an iPad. But yes, it does. It does look a lot like an iPad.

Apple stole the design of a Samsung product too.

Firstly, that is false. Secondly, it does not give Samsung the right to copy back. But... lets move on.

The iPad looks almost identical to a Samsung Digital Frame in front view. Sure, they are not the same kind of device, but all that matters should be "Which company had the design first?" and that's Samsung.

Again, you really don't know what you're talking about. Months it has been, but people still don't know the case.
Apple's lawsuit base on a community design from 2004, 2 years before the Samsung picture frame you are referring to.

Android looks nothing like iOS. Period.

Android is a cheap copy of iOS. Period.
My opinion. Facts definitely prove this; but whatever! There is never going to be any consensus on this.

Samsung doesn't market the same way Apple does. Period.

Oh they do. Period. Period. Twice as strong as yours.
 
If they didn't steal/infringe, Apple's case against Samsung would have been dismissed on the very first day.
.

And this clearly shows why I'm asking those questions, to show how people like you, the OP and more don't know anything about the case of about the laws and only are jus taking a position because some loved company says so.
