not surprised

Apple se esta convirtiendo cada dia en mas pirata!!

Yeah, but Apple iphones have all those cool gela-skins with wallpaper patterns and silicone balls.

when i saw that i lost respect for steve jobs

Sadly as ever, it is the big boys throwing their weight about, and each seems to have more to gain from it going their way.

Most of these companies steal ideas from someone, or buy the originator and so the idea, then close the smaller company laying everyone off.

Most smaller companies can't challenge the big boys because they don't have the resources for a prolonged fight, which is what they'll get, for that exact reason.

Even of they won, they'd be out of business before the verdict.

ORIGINALITY

Tablet as well are a microsoft's Idea. And TabletPC is a Microsoft's trade mark

The FACT is..."Everybody who don't own Apple criticize Apple products either they don't know it or they can't afford it..But everybody likes or dream to have one!!" Once you start using apple products all the other seems like piece of yellowish!!! Go to today's "Acid picdump" and take a closer look at the picture #3

sounds like someone is a little butt hurt.

at least when apple does it they mak it work right.

how may times have you heard...
"cant wait to get my hands on that new samsung f700"
"man, Nuance is awesome"

answer: never

and yes, this is all about patent wars.

$1 billion is a small price to pay to become the largest smart phone provider in the world. Figuring Samsung had a PROFIT of over a $3 billion last year alone, A one time payment of 1 billion isn't that bad of a price to pay relatively speaking. They would of spent way more on research and development of their own products...

@ deepacidcow...I understand that people have their loyalties to Apple but I don't get why someone would argue that Apple's products are better because they cost more and because someone like yourself fantasizes about Apple in their dreams ...For that reason Apple users are tagged forever as being smug, and pretentious.

Oh no, my heart breaks

apple had bite ...

If you can't hire the best engineers, hire the best lawyers.

Hilarious!!

Too fucking bad. I's about who takes it to the bank, get the most mindshare and changes an entire industry. Apple wins. Don't like it? Enjoy your second-rate shit.

Apple = stuff for kids who wants to look cool

Jobs was an amoral snob. He's the kind of guy that takes up two handicap spaces with his Mercedes, but he was not handicapped - no compassion for those that need them. He never invented anything - he just exploited the ideas of others, Wozniak being the first. He "turned" Apple around by firing 20,00 people I like apple computers and OS because they do work better than others. But Job sucked.

@fairmania, well said sir, well said.

SAMSUNG RULES

deepacidcow,

i owned an iphone before, and let me tell you, APPLE SUCKS!

show me something your beloved iphone can do that ANDROID phones can't.

well?? nada! zip! ZERO!

now ask yourself this, what can ANDROID phones do that iphones can't.

Answer? ALOT!

deepacidcow,
Android phone could not make a copy of how bad is iTune software interface work. Everybody who own iPhone before, now own Android phone, but everybody who own iPhone now they never had Android phone, you are the child left behind still using iPhone, With Android phone you could make it plain simple and it work, make it complicated customize and it work or just make it the way you want it and it work.

Fatamorgana,
you look stupid saying blanket statements like that.
a friend of mine has owned at least two android phones. he got sick of it, not sure why. switched to the iphone, had it for a few months now and hes been loving it more than his android. and hes not an apple head, owns a windows machine... his iphone is his first and only apple product. he likes that everything works.
apples downside is also their upside. its all closed but it all works, third party software can breaks products.

how about this.... is not for everyone, thats why there is variety. aruging about brands is dumb. who cares what i like is different than what you like.
