Do we all understand that only five patents out of the 7 accused have been found be infringed upon? Do we all understand that 39 patents make up most of Samsungs devices and 26 make up apple’s devices. Although this will hurt the largest phone manufacturer (Samsung) in the entire world financially, after being sued. Not much will change if they decided stop using apple’s patents. For the most part Samsung’s devices are innovative. I own a Samsung device and an iPhone. I love them both for different reasons. I must say, however, Samsungs device’s are far beyond Apple. I would rather buy an Apple product because Apple in an American based company. I would rather buy American than Korean! But Korea’s products (Samsung) are much better then what America and Apple has to offer at the moment. Now lets get one thing understood. Apple didnt sue samsung over patents. yes it technically over patents but it was really about survival. Samsung has broken records for sales and the galaxy S3 is now the highest selling smart phone ever! period!!! rather you like it or not Samsung is number 1 and market share for Android devices are putting a strangle hold on the entire mobile industry. It is apple who needs to innovate to survive. Not much has changed for apple since the debut of the iphone. Samsung is here to stay. And remember to separate Android from samsung. Android is the true reason behind Samsungs success not Apples patents. Anyone who thinks disagrees is nuts.

Also 1000000′s of products, phones and the 2001 microsoft tablet all have rounded products, samsung had a black cellphone with a touchscreen, one button on the bottom, rectangular shape with rounded corners and much more similarities even before the Iphone came out! (F700) So APPLE copied Samsung

Pinch to zoom was first used by microsoft not by apple.

Apple disgusts me now … I did not like their products, thought they were pretentious and over prized on top of that ripped people off and offered inferior hardware

But this tops everything, I really HATE apple now ..

not to mention Apple is the BIGGEST patent thief in the world, APPLE even refuses to pay for motorola’s radio communication patents, which ALL mobile companies do! What about Samsungs 3g/wifi patents?

The only company cast in a negative light here is Samsung. Sometimes when I read these ignorant posts on these blogs I feel as if I am in the company of 13 year olds living in an alternate reality!

I am not an expert but it seems that $1bn+ penalties for having a rounded icon while it had been patented by Apple is a bit overkilled. The little music in the background is that Apple try to stop a competitor by using the patent system that most of people understand is dysfunctional. If Apple try to stop a competitor in court does it mean that they can’t do it with better products?
I am fully into in the Apple system but I have to say that the S III does look good.
