What Android transformation? I like when people still accuses Schmidt when even Jobs never ever accused him of wrongdoing.
It is amusing
So you have nothing...exactly. I work in this industry btw, if you don't waste time talking to people like me it would explain your weak position.
Interesting, that's a good explanation, I'll take it. Next: Gorilla Glass? Black bezel/silver body? Green phone icon? Samsung Omnia was the first of these copycat devices, explain away.
Are you aware that Samsung has order of magnitude more patents than Apple? How is that for innovation?
Uh when Android phones resembled then dominant mobile phone company known as RIM? It seems like you just want to believe what you want to believe without any regard to things that are published and reported so carry on.
It is amusing that somehow you think you know everything Jobs has said to everyone, but yet even today more stuff (like the Yelp talks) that he said comes out, which no one knew about.
Uh ? No, when Apple wins, judges know what they are doing. The difference is, Apple has yet to win anything but preliminary rulings where cases have yet to go to trial or even through discovery, they've lost in actual summary judgements though.
It is not common sense to assume that Apple stole the Prada's design - which itself changed during the iPhone's development. Perhaps it was the other way around? Is that common sense too? Nonsense.
The one that wants to believe what wants to believe is you. There were TWO Android prototypes, the WM esque and the touch only prototypes.
Android has been hardware agnostic from the start and today is still hardware agnostic
That could be called acquisition among many other things. Are patents now innovation? Is it ok now to assume that the patent system works (I'm assuming you think it does not).
the phone icon has ALWAYS been green, even on my first siemens phone with a colored display
and gorilla glass is from a different company all together, so only apple should be allowed to use it? how is that good for the customer exactly?
Do you agree that judges merely follow the boundaries of the law? That whether they decide one way or the other that there is more than just a fleeting chance that Samsung actually has done something disingenuous that has these Apple fans pissed off?
Yes, amusing, because the claims made by the OP against Schmidt imply ILLEGAL doing.
Yap, amusing that if Jobs or the Apple board thought that Schmidt had done industrial theft they wouldn't say anything.
But heim think what you want
They are no less of a technological leader than Apple is, name one technological advancement that Apple has made aside from fabrication.
Touch screen - before Apple
Tablets - before Apple
Computers - before Apple
Smart phones - before Apple
MP3 players - before Apple
Sorry but Apple hasn't revolutionized anything and much like Samsung they've just had good marketing.
Samsung is the leader in TVs/flash memory/smart phones markets. So if you're going to base technological advancements on sales then they are just as qualified as Apple.
I hate Samsung but don't undercut them just because you don't like them, the fact is they are a successful company and a leader in the industry.
No, I don't waste the time with so biased people like you that insult when you're wrong. I don't waste the time with trolls
I didn't say that only Apple should be able to use it - it's the sudden shift to use all of the exact same parts and icons as the iPhone...including packaging and marketing...Gorilla Glass is just one example.
Common sense says the form factor has existed for quite a while, Palm having used it in the late 90s ("candy bar" PDA type device). Neither Apple nor anyone else "copied" it, just like every flip phone out there isn't a copy of one another.
It's a form factor, you use it. That is all.
Apple just happens to have been one of the first models to sell a lot of units of said form factor, making it one of the most desirable to consumers who until then had wanted Blackberry type devices or flip phones. Now they want candy bar, who knows what's next.

Apple has only acknowledged this year that they are a Corning's partner.
