I'm looking forward to the new iPhone. LTE, a thinner design, and possibly NFC all appeal to me..
As for the Surface, I'm sure Tim Cook knows quite well that Microsoft will be marketing that device hard. For all we know, he's comfortable with Apple having 20-30% of a market 4 times as large as he is with owning 70% of today's market.
Who can remind me, What company said good artists copy and great artists steal. Hmmm food for thought. Isn't fun when the tables are turned.
So, other than looking like a rectangle.
They run different OS's, use different hardware, have a different amount of buttons, are different sizes, use different apps, and aren't even made of the same material?
Yes, copying!
Which is all well and good, but I'd like a much larger screen, and maybe an actual update of some kind to iOS? After ICS and going to JB soon, I can't deal with iOS anymore, time for an overhaul. And, why ditch google maps? its the best for what it does.
Its the surface RT that will compete with the iPad imo.
The market the Surface Pro is targetting wouldn't buy an iPad to start with, so no need to worry about that.
Did anyone bother to check the jury, and wether they owned apple or Samsung products, bet that swayed the vote lol
The worst thing about this verdict is the truck full of sour grapes folk are going to have to put up with.

Gotta be honest. Kinda getting sick of Apple's attitude.
Except that was one Apple lost. It makes a nice sound bite, but it's false.Well said Timmy. Well said.
For those who wish to read Samsung's statement.
"Todays verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apples claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer."

I am very proud of the work that each of you do.
that's why i am going to raise my own salary
Tim
So with the extra 1 Billion will they now be able to treat their retail employees a little better and not cut their hours, lay them off right after training? Maybe not have to make the Foxiconn employees work 16 hour days? Just asking.
umad?
Your so dumb its painful.
Read the jury verdict again. The phones infringed, the tablets didn't. Therefore, Apple didn't get away with patenting the rectangle. They did convince a jury that their phones were originals that Samsung unfairly copied. As for tablets, the iPad was the first successful one, but it wasn't the first that looked like it.
----------
They are probably ditching Google Maps for the same reason that Samsung may eventually "ditch" Android and go with Tizen or Bada. They probably don't want to become that dependent upon a third party. Google is free to make their own Google Maps app for iPhone If it's good, my guess is Apple will easily approve it.

The judge thought of that already.

Just put those sour grapes into an oak barrel for the winter. You'll have some nice wine next spring.
Frick NO!!! Samsung undoubtably makes great tear. Apple knows this but it is important to hold your ground. The business will work itself out.Just cant help wonder if the samsung will stop making components for apple now...

Steve would have been proud of Tim. Tried to work it out with Samsung but when they would not come to terms, he nailed them.
AGREED!Oh man there's so many things wrong with this post and then 3 (as of now) people upvoted you? I'm quitting the internet today. Goodnight.

Were Apple fans. I love all my Apple products, but I am now done with this company that is trying to sue there way into a monopoly. I will keep what I have, but will not be purchasing anything new from them. I know I will get negative comments since I didn't give Apple praise, and the faithful do not look past the symbol.

good for innovation my rear end. If Apple was not abusing the crappy American patent system then yeah but those patents are crapents and Apple is just continuing to prove it is the worlds largest patent troll.
This is a sad day. It means I can patent crap and if I have enough money I can be a patent troll. Apple is to scared to compete any more so they have got to litigation.
