UK Judge Rules Samsung Tablets 'Not as Cool' as iPad

[h4lp m3]

Gimme a break. All these damn tablets are iPad rip-offs.
Let's be real. In the beginning, there was iPad. A year later, these other guys came.

Again, you're missing the fact that the Tablet has existed for many years before apple ever came out with the ipad, ipod touch, or iphone.

Tablet computing is NOT new. it was only recently however that tablets became mainstream and affordable in a tiny easy to cary form factor. I will give you and apple the credit that they made having them "cool" and mainstream. But they far far far FAR from invented the technology.

This isn't remotely the truth.

Denial mode?

Spoken like a person who was born in 2009. As if anything prior simply did not exist.

The Galaxy tablets "do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Appledesign," Birss said. "They are not as cool."

10 minutes later.. Apple applied for a trademark for the tagline: "They are not as cool."

20 minutes later they were denied.

 

[iMikeT]

Of course it's not as cool, durrrrrr.

 

[Peace]

I find it odd that whenever some judge rules in favor of Apple people here call the judge wrong but when a judge rules in favor of samsung people here call the judge right.


just my view.

I doubt the judge would refer to himself in a quote but rather just type his thoughts. Cute try though. Oh. And it would be Judge's....

 

[h4lp m3]

The extended version:

"The Galaxy tablets do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity as iPad. Just because they're both black, handheld, have touch screens, a border around them, cameras on the front and back, buttons on the side, and serve the same purpose: portable porn... It's really apples & oranges folks. One emails and the other... hmmm. Well, one has GPS and... No that won't work either. They're just different ok. That one sucks and that one's cool.

Your view is a sweeping generalization that I believe has no merit/truth to it.

I'm rubber and you're glue.


bla bla bla...

[AbyssImpact]

are you using a cover? does it "burn" through the cover? like can u feel it on your hands even though you're using a cover?

its already bothering me when my iphone gets hot and i'm getting my iPad 3 tmrw. my iPad 2 never got warm

---

thats the problem with "simplistic"

everything will look similar to it, its not even a choice unless you add 834380480 buttons just to make it look differently even though those buttons would be pointless

Yes I have a smart cover which does.not get taken off during use

I remember those bricks... what is multitouch?

 

[Oletros]

I find it odd that whenever some judge rules in favor of Apple I think people here call the judge wrong but when a judge rules in favor of samsung I think people here call the judge right but both views are totally wrong


just my biased view.

🙄

Corrected.

Got it. You are young. I suggest you get over it. Not being young. Just that Apple's design didn't hold up in court.

 

[derickdub]

Both of them? The judge also said that Apple design lacks originality

Where did you see that at?

It takes all sorts I guess.

People that cheer an Apple win. People that jeer an Apple win.
People that want to redefine what exactly makes a tablet a tablet.

All kind of loons out there. 😉

Well what do YOU know Mr. Appdroid Fan Boy! 😉

again. multitouch existed before Apple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch

Just because your first introduction to a multi touch tabet was the ipad, doesn't mean that the world started then.

I love the history where Apple buys the company who invented the current iteration of multi touch, then claims they invented it themselves

Oh teh noes! Is my fanboy showing? 😱 😛

Apple needs to stop attacking every other tablet out there. Everyone knows the iPad is the best! Sure, not everyone can afford one and some people settle for less, but iPad is the rock star.

How's that kool aid tastin, skipper?

Did you know there was no TELEVISION before Apple TV? Totally true. I read it somewhere.

 

[Oletros]

Where did you see that at?

When they have found 50 prior art designs and that the iPad design is part of a tablet family?
