Samsung should really stick to making TVs...in my opinion they're the best on the market. Phones + Tablets may be out of their league.

Apple buddy Intel
this one of the reason, apple is looking at Intel for manufacturing ARM Chips ...
well until Intel starts copying Apple and releasing prototypes phones
who is copying copy who?

Actually, if that happened there would be severe penalties imposed on counsel. I don't think they would do that. These people are smart and respectable.
i really hope this stops now and both companies go back to produce good products ...
Apple never going to be in the low end of the market whether it is PC, Phone or iPad(s)...
you need other plays like Samsung, HTC and others to manufacture for the lower end of the market ...

its like they are admitting they are copying apple
"ok, so we copied iphone4 and ipad2, but can we see iphone5 and ipad3 just in case we do it again?"

HTC and Samsung also offer very high end phones which are superior to the ageing iphone, such as the Sensation and Galaxy 2.
They want to see the prototype so that they can prepare to defend against possible law suits from Apple ???? I mean, if they wanted to sue Apple that would make sense ...
Ok, I'm torn between thinking that is childish or genius ... on one hand it looks like that have no arguments what so ever and just want to scream back, but on the other hand they might want to show that apple sues for no reason, so they want to prepare ...

Well, there is a big cultural difference as well here. It's probably not as simple as some folks are interpreting this.
Having worked for a Korean company for quite a number of years, there are big differences in approaches for business and legal matters. Korea has a rich culture and if you look back in history they've had well organized bureaucracies for hundreds of years. Their legal precedents are different than ours.

Yeah, their phones are total failure even though according to Unwired View "Launched in the UK earlier this month, the new Samsung Galaxy S II has quickly become the countrys most popular smartphone. Just like we told you it happened in South Korea, the Galaxy S II is outselling Apples iPhone 4 in the UK, too."
Youre joking right? This is total tit for tat...after Apple's allowance to review unreleased Samsung HW. Oh, but it was Apple the first time...so you didnt care.
I dont think either party has a legitimate claim to each other's unreleased products. If the next Galaxy Phone infringes on Apple copyrights(or vice versa), seek damages accordingly.
Dear Samsung simpletons,
Apple isn't advertising iPhone 5 or iPad 3, nor copying your product designs wholesale.

That's pretty low. And does Samsung think that Apple is going to copy Samsung's design that was criticized for copying Apple in the first place?
There is one big difference:
case1: Apple wants to see Samsung hardware to proof that they copy stuff (best on iPhone4/iPad2)
case2: Samsung wants to see Apple hardware to prepare to defend a potential law suit by Apple that Samsung is copying Apple (based on iPhone5/iPad3)
case1 is very typical if a company wants to proof copy cats - case2 is very unusual and either funny or genius (to make the point that case1 is pointless)
LOL
Samsung wants to avoid having to "rethink" their next products.
It is a shame Apple has to do this. The galaxy tablet is failed product. Why would anyone expect version 2 to be a success? I guess if they can see the next model ipad and get a head start then version 3 might have a chance.

Although childish, I'm not surprised. I'd want to have a look into Apple's products before they are released In all seriousness, I suppose Samsung are just a bit annoyed seen as their product really isn't a "rip of the iPhone", just a better spec product. Maybe Apple are just annoyed that Google sided with Samsung for the Nexus.

One question, if only 'external lawyers' are allowed to the the prototypes of 'the other' company - how the hell do those lawyers decide what was copied or not - I would assume those have not the technical background and company internal information to make an educated decision, I mean, a more technical person with internal knowledge from each company would be required for that - but that person would no longer be allowed to work on the new version ....
No, it's a pretty stupid response. Samsung has already publicly discussed and demoed their products.
