After this suit, I believe my choice to purchase a couple I-pads has just been changed. I think I will look to another product line now. I know the three I-pads will not make a dent in the companys bottom line, but it will in mine. Thanks Apple & all the money hungry layers. ( on both sides)

New ideas that you think are new are just old ideas remixed. Like the person before me said ” apple has been doing it for years.”

Apple has been doing it too long, monopolizing the sales, and since samsung over passed them, now they sue them for patency. We consumers arent stupid not to see which is which or cant see the difference. WTF are apple thinking.

It has no expandable memory cant change the battery, has to convert a lot of files. Cant send bluetooth to other devices than same apple tech, no PHONE FUNCTIONALITY and above all they are all bunch of F*&* sky pricing units. Samsung are not the only companies who uses android os. I think apple should realize that CONSUMERS ARE WISE BUYERS TOO!! We are not stupid buying apple products or samsung products that making us too confuse what too buy. These are all tech gadgets. I guess they should understand WE BUY WHAT FITS FOR US, WHAT WE NEED. NOT BECAUSE OF THE BRAND ITSELF!!! Come on why not try to go to china and see for yourself how many people cloned the Apple Os already, why dont apple sue china too for copying many of their os.

Apple has done their fair share of “stealing” things too. Heck they even hire microsoft to help them with their OS… You dont think ideas bleed over from that?

There are only so many ways to cut a rectangle… and I dont think the consumers would like circle or trapazoid…

Bottom line, Patents are no longer being used for their original intent, and instead are used to get the law on your side so you can go around with your corporate bullying and push people out of the market. And they are all guilty of it. Apple, Samsung, Microsoft… Its very sad…

True, Apple is an innovative technology Company, except for the fact that Samsung creates more tech that everyone uses. Wondered why Samsung rarely sues Apple, because is its biggest buyer. And because of that, Apple doesn’t have to create the tech and claim it as their own. They just buy from others

The threat of litigation affects every company in the industry, and they are not going to take these litigation costs out of their profits – the costs are passed on to the consumer.

What if it turns out we need support for the product?

I think you’re missing the point when you argue that Apple wasted any money. The loser of the trial, which will very likely be Samsung, will have to pay Apple’s legal fees. Also, depending on how many tablets Samsung actually sold (I know…), damages for the infringing product will have to be paid to Apple.
