hahahahahaha......
for your kind information, samsung was making touchscreen phones in 2006, making apple the one that copied. dont believe me, google: "samsung F700"
You don't really believe that samsung started developing the F700 in 2006, right?
No I don't hence why the comment that the f700 being released in 2006 (which is false but who cares about facts?) means nothing.
@otismotive... You mean the Nokia communicator series rip off with the resistive touch screen...? which was announced in Feb '07 and released in december '07 while the iphone was released in June '07...?
for your reference...

also this looks like a rip off of the communicator...

You're telling me that picture with "LOL Apple" on it is not legitimate?? Who would have known?
It's beyond sad that people take anything anti apple as fact without doing the most rudimentary of fact checking.
Ofcourse... There is iOS7 to copy now... Back to the drawing board... err I mean copying board...
*runs and hides*
Really now, where IOS 7 features come from.
the thing we were talking about was "who's copying" and i think i've given you enough evidences.....apple's the one who copied.

No I don't hence why the comment that the f700 being released in 2006 (which is false but who cares about facts?) means nothing.
the thing is that samsung had introduced their first touchscreen phones almost 1yr before apple, which definitely means they were working on it before apple started to work on the iphone which concludes to : apple is the real copycat.
You really do need reading and comprehension lessons... I have given you fact dates about release dates... And earlier in this thread I have given other fact evidences too... You should try and read when you argue too... But ofcourse why should you bother with facts... Enjoy your dream wonderland...
Then, maybe you should explain what you meant when you wrote,
"Ofcourse... There is iOS7 to copy now... Back to the drawing board... err I mean copying board."
Because I am confused.
The F700 QBOWL would be the most successful trolling that has ever happened in the history of Apple vs Samsung.
Some piece of Skrittpoo faked a picture of the F700, added a few dates he pulled out of his rect....head and all those who always hated Apple start believing it and post it around the web.
The dates in that picture are faked, the F700 QBOWL was announced a month AFTER the iPhone was revealed and it was released nearly a year later.
Also the picture is misleading, because what you see in that picture is not the "homescreen" of the QBOWL but the appdrawer, you very rarely will use that menu, while the homescreen/appdrawer of the iPhone als seen everytime you use the device.
I meant to say iOS7 is a departure and Samsung will have to put on their copying shoes again...
Thanks......just so you know I will be purchasing the new iPhone and the new iPad when they are released. I have the 2012 rMBP and I plan on purchasing the new Mac Mini when it is released. I'm buying all Apple products because of its eco system. The reason I responded to your comment was because although I like Apple I will not bash Samsung. Samsung phones and Android OS are excellent products.
i repeat...
That's Apple's cherry-picked version, which made it look like Samsung stopped making flip phones, phones with keyboards, etc.
Here's Samsung's version for the trial, which pointed out that those devices continued to sell. It also cherry-picks, but the other way, by including devices that were in R&D. (Click to enlarge.)
As for the F700, it's interesting to note that Apple's lawyers... casting their net as wide as possible... originally included it in their list of iPhone copy-cat devices. Later they realized their mistake, and withdrew it from the list. (Besides the obvious fact that it was worked on beforehand, Samsung had filed a Korean design patent for it a month before the iPhone was shown off)
Samsung also sold an all touch device in the summer of 2006, a half year before the iPhone came out:
great facts, really hard to find...
that's what i was trying to tell but these people @silenCe @pirg @j4zb4 think that samsung never made a touch screen phone before the iphone.....why dont these people go criticize iOS7 for copying features from samsung and android.
I mentioned how it's simply not true claiming that Apple stole the design from the F700, because the F700 was NOT announced or released before the iPhone.
here you go, FACTS...

check out how apple not just copied samsung but also LG and Nokia.
You should read my other post carefully... No one ever mentioned Apple was the first touchscreen device... Palm. Nokia had resistive touchscreen since years... And no the F700 wasn't announced before the iphone... You trolls should really get your facts right... The iphone was announced 1 month BEFORE the F700 and was launched 6 months BEFORE the F700... Here read these 2 links...

And GSMArena is the most unbiased website you will ever find... I believe in this site more than the iHATE websites you post...
Also no one said Samsung stopped making dumbphones... They still do... But show me where were the capacitative touch screen phones from Samsung before Apple made them...? And resistive touchscreen phones from Samsung before Nokia / Palm made them...? Can you show me some links...? I doubt because Samsung has always been the copy champ...
No I am sorry to inform you misinformed little souls that all these have already been done in the jailbreak community before it even got to Android... Sorry to burst your bubble fandroids but most of the features were already on the iphone one was or the other... So even if you want to claim ios7 is a rip off it is a rip off of the jailbreak community and not Android...
Really sorry to break your lovely bubble...

What they need to copy from iOS 7?
That is correct.
Read my post carefully as well. I likewise said nothing about who was the first touchscreen phone. I was simply responding to that simplistic diagram, which was calculated to make it look like Samsung had never considered a full screen touch device.
The fact is, there were plenty of full and capacitive screen devices being worked on, demonstrated or announced. The time was ripe for their use. However, most makers were stuck with having to support legacy systems and customers... just as Apple now seems stuck with their own basic design.
Cheers!
where did the jailbreak got those features, huh?
one way or the other iOS users (i could have also used a bad word here, but i belong to a good family) have always copied android.
There's no single source for most of this stuff.
A lot of the basic concepts have been around for decades in some form or another.
They're all taking the best ideas and using them.
Stay happy in your dreamworld... I am out of patience now... Yes iOS has copied everything from Samsung... Android and Samsung are the God's of innovation who felt the need of copying Nokia then BB and then the iPhone... Good day...
Reminds me of a saying... Which I will refrain from mentioning...
