Samsung Proposes Deal with Apple for Galaxy Tab Launch in Australia

That's the problem, part of the "time and money developing" was actually Apple's time and money developing that Samsung apparently stole, no doubt using the advantage of being an Apple component supplier to get early peeks at some of Apples technological innovations, only to use it in their own products and claim it as their own.

your point is so damn obvious yet people still downrate you. Goes to show how ****ing stupid people are in this world who cannot see common sense. No wonder apple has to go through this *****

If we are wrong how come Apple is winning court cases. Just goes to show the people who downrate these logical posts are really just trolls/un-evolved in the brain and born without common sense

Samsung is knockoff scrum.

I'll never buy another Samsung product as long as I live.... not a TV, washer, fridge or anything else the thieving company makes.

That's a bit harsh and extreme. Suit yourself, I am a huge Apple fan but proud to own many of Samsung products. Samsung is a pioneer in LCD and Plasma TV domain.

97% of cases get settled btw

Samsung is not the only good brand of those products. I am an artist and I sure wouldn't support art theft by funding the people who do it. I'd choose a different just as good product instead.

Not assembled only the componants are made by samsung

the design, the software, the feel, which materials are used, the innovation, ETC (need i go on) are all done by :apple:

Do you think those memory and processor chips made by Samsung were just simply pooped out overnight? Here's an infographics of just how much Samsung contributes to your beloved iphone. But do go on with your blind Apple worshiping.

Yes! How dare they copy Apple's use of a rounded rectangle?!

If Samsung changed their logo to an apple would you still support them?

If you were trained in art/design you would know that silhouette is the first thing that reads in an image. That is why the rounded rectangle is IP of Apple. If all products in a catalogue were filled with black everyone would know all the Apple product range because of the silhouette alone. That is why it is called leaching from Apple.
 
I'd imagine it's some kind of discount on parts Apple needs to make iPhones, iPads, etc.

Seems like a win to me...

Apple is able to boost their profit margins even higher.

Samsung is allowed to attempt to sell their knock off this holiday (but it'll sell about as well as HP's did when it was first released,) discover they're no good at making them, admit defeat and abandon the market.

And in the event they don't abandon the market, Apple can continue this lawsuit and ban them from the market. (Because all this deal allows Samsung to do is to sell the tablet while they continue to battle in court.)

Understandable but risky. Apple is already so far ahead of the competition I don't think they want to take any risks closing the gap

Nah, that would actually be a blatant violation of a trademark. A fruity trademark.

Are you saying there weren't any rounded rectangular tablets and objects before the ipad?

Believe me, I am on Apple's side on this one, but I wouldn't go as extreme as calling Samsung theives and boycotting them. Samsung is a huge company, this is like saying I want to give up my US citizenship since the government funds research that I don't approve of, yes, that might be the case, but you can't just blame the entire system for what you see is a fault in part of it. jeez!

And good luck finding 'as good' products. Samsung TVs are unmatched, not even by Sony. That's why they are **still** the number one seller for the 5th year in a row.

I see your point yes. They are a dishonest company when you look at their history though. Very tight with with the korean government for immunity as well.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab has held up under Intellectual Property suits in the EU. Apple's designs were too minimalist to be protected.

Can people stop using this impossible phrase? Really annoys anyone that got above a C in math.

Sony? Uh, I think you mean Panasonic. They and Samsung are currently playing leapfrog for best picture. (since Pioneer quit making TVs)

You realize that the chaebol [sic], with its govt interaction, is the Korean standard for their country. There are what, five of them? It's how Korea works. I guess if you don't like it, don't go there.

Apple can do no wrong, right?

Can't ****ing read, eh? So far in this thread there are more people disagreeing with Apple than not. Troll.

Apple applied for an injunction in Germany and in the Netherlands. They won in Germany. Guess which one is the bigger market.

Samsung is probably proposing not to sue Apple for the iPhone 5 like they said they would if Apple agrees to a deal

There's one part of Samsung that tries to sell consumer devices. That part of Samsung is quite happy suing Apple, because Apple is a competitor. And there is one part that sells electronic parts. That part of Samsung is quite upset with the situation, because they are losing an important customer. And there is another part that builds tractors and doesn't care :)

And what kind of mindless fanboy is voting me down for mentioning that Apple won an injunction in Germany? Seems that some people don't like to hear the truth.

I'm referring to SOME of the posts in this thread, like the posts saying Samsung is trash and makes trashy products and claiming Samsung makes rip-offs like the obscure Chinese makes that manufacturer "proper" rip-offs.

Samsung has a longer history in mobile phone development than Apple. To people who hate Samsung to the point of wanting the company to liquidate, throw away your iToys as they have Sammy components. ;)

who would want a galaxy tab over and iPad anyway

According to Apple, tons of people.
Responding to questions from Justice Bennett about whether Samsung's model could be singled out, given there are other Android-based tablets on the market, Apple's lawyers said it saw the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as the main competitor to the iPad 2.
"This is vastly the one that is going to be targeting the iPad 2," Apple's counsel said.
"This is going to be launched on the market with the velocity of a fire hose and [the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is] going to just come in and take away iPad 2 sales so quickly that by the time we get to final hearing the full impact of the patent infringement will be [felt] to the detriment of Apple and to the benefit of [Samsung]."

Actually, I'm on a national math team and I take no offense from the term "rounded rectangle". What better name would you propose for the shape? Its a rectangle whose corners have had a fillet applied to them (they've been rounded.) Seems like a pretty apt name for the shape to me...

In fact, if you launch any iWork app and look at the list of available shapes, Apple themselves refers to the shape as exactly that.
