YES!!! Now I have a reason to laugh about all the ass-clowns who said: I odn;t like that samsung made an Iphone-like phone). the truth is that they reinvented themselves, but the baby-apple thinks it;s the center of the universe, that whatever they do is unique, and no one should even try to do something like them, because they will sue him.
LOL apple =))

LG's Prada phone before that!

Just check both phones release dates on google... You Completely wrong...

I'm not an Apple fanboy, in fact quite the opposite. But the facts of this post are wrong. F700 was announced in Feb 2007 and showcased at 2007 CEBIT NOT 2006 show. And it was accused of being an iphone ripoff even back then.

Feb 8th 2007 date of video upload.
And if we want to be pedantic here.
The first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, launched in 1992. During this decade the popular iPaq (not made by Apple by the way) was launched with touchscreens and optional phone attachments. HTC, the leader in touchscreen phones up until the iPhone and makers of phones like the Nexus One launched their first touchscreen phone, the HTC Wallaby aka XDA in 2002.

In my opinion, the problem is that Apple is kind of feared. Android is being developed and, according to Google News, 350,000 Android terminals are activate every day, and this is a commercial strategy to stop Android's development.
Although, if I am not wrong, Samsung and Apple work "together" in a certain sense, because Samsung provides hardware for Apple products... So I can't get the reason of this lawsuit against Samsung. It is probably a commercial thing - Apple will "earn" MUCH money with this.

Perhaps you can find an accurate record of any announcement date for the F700 prior to Feb 2007.

nop

I can't believe Apple is scared over Samsung.. This only means one thing, Apple was already been surpassed by Samsung.. This issue is way back 4 years ago and got sued. LOL

I hope that Samsung will hire some designers after that.

apple sucks from top to bottom!!
All apple can do is take ppl to court coz they are scared like lil chickens lol

Nokia vs. Apple and everyone
I'm just looking forward to the case of Nokia vs. everyone for using icons and menues on a phone!
Note: Not that I'm claiming that Nokia was first here at all!

Didn't you know?? They give the definition of "unique" to a phone which has Samsung and LG components... And they're complaining for something which is not fair to complain for. TouchWiz UI and iOS UI are similar for the drawer and the app bar, and so what? I mean, that's a minor problem: imagine if those companies who are providing components for Apple stop doing it... I think giving them a "license" to use a (let's call it like that) similar interface is a good strategy...

iPhone 4S. Your thoughts about it?

I want to hear to people opinions about the "new" iphone? Anyone making the switch since its on sprint now?
Me , no I never liked iOS. Making the switch to android is the best thing ever.

Only if I can put Android on it.

nope. If it were something crazy revolutionary, maybe, but it's exactly the same as the iPhone 4. Granted, I would love to have a retina display on my Shift (let alone my iPad lol)

Everyone I know that uses android says they hate iPhone, but every time I think they just are biased. I moved from iPhone because I loved customizability, but you can't deny iPhone has it strengths. And when you hold that device, you just can't not love how it feels, and how italways is fast and works. Not to mention when HTC rocked the 5 MP camera, apple had a 3.2 that would blow it out of the water. Just because we love android guys, you can't deny apple can make a device.

F*ck yeah, we get Android on that thing and we'll be good to go!

I'm sticking to my shift its a epic phone once rooted and overclocked.the only thing I like about the new iphone is the retina display if I could get that on my shift that would be badddda$$ lol but other then that nah I could care less about apple products I just don't see the purpose when if u break it down to actual cpu specs then there products aren't too impressive considering all the cpu chips we have on android based phones/tablets.its just like pc's you can get a intel quad core desktop for around 800 but if u want that as a mac its 3k.its all about preference though that's just my thought on apple products it just seems like a marketing gimmick to me.

1 word: Disappointed

i thought about it then realized i'm not retarded and love the open source of android and like what it has to offer. plus Miui looks and runs better than IOS so i'm good

from what ive read every new app theyve tried to implement on the "new" iphone has been on android for a long while now

love him or hate him, you can't deny that he built a big empire of that brand. personally, I'm not drinking the kool aid.. don't care too, but sucks to see the man cut short in life.

Steve jobs was a great man, too bad he died young. He was my idol .

Back to the topic at hand even though I don't like the iPhone I can say, however, from a consumer's standpoint the iPhone 4S is a major disappointment. Everyone was hoping for something new and innovative that would have put Android on edge under the banner iPhone 5 and instead what we got was basically a marginal upgrade to the iPhone 4. There's no WiMAX or LTE 4G setup because they moved to the "World Phone" design probably to reduce manufacturing costs and instead gave their 3G radio a minor update that ups its speed from 7mbps to 14mbps which is also disappointing since its competition has been pushing 21+mbps HSPA+ 3G all this year. Other then that it got a new iOS upgrade which comes as no surprise and a dual core version of the iPhone 4's CPU. Beyond that there's no change which makes it seem like under Apple's new leadership this past year (remember Jobs left someone else in charge while he focused on his health this past year) has shifted most of the R&D's funding to the Legal department to promote their current anti-competitive legal campaign.

It's not much better than the iPhone 4, it only has a different proccesor, better camera, and siri. Apple, in my opinion, has failed. But there will always be a part of Steve Jobs in Apple. For Apple/ phone/ everyone who's heard of Apple and Steve Jobs, he will be dearly missed.

Everyone Chilllllllll Do you guys not remember Samsung making fun of iPhone users in their commercials awhile back? I do think they were more witty than apples attempt here .. but really.. calm down

A little jest between competitors is a good thing. HTC probably approved.

Oh come on guys, Apple clearly knows its audience. They know how to reach their fans - that's exactly how you do it with Apple fanboys, or any fanboys in general.
My honest opinion ? Meh... kinda funny but i'm really sick of serious tech-corporations behaving like kids - and yes, Samsung's included. That's not the model of marketing i'd like to see from them.
Going back to actually using my device and not gloryfying the shear fact that i have it
PS. Fanboy wars aside - Siri is better than S-Voice - definitely, no argument here. I love my Galaxy Note and would never go back to iPhone, but Apple's voice assistant is the best at the moment.

Android R.I.P. - The Grips of Jobs' Dead Hands

Android, and every other touchscreen OS, (besides iOS) you might as well say goodbye to... I HOPE NOT!
Apple now has the power to destroy Android, Windows Phone, and any other iOS Touchscreen Competitor... Steve Jobs wins this round (for now anyways...)
How long before Apple has the S3 Pulled? This is the top iPhone competitor besides the DROID RAZR Series, with the S3 far ahead...

This could spell the end for Android and this phone, and I will not be a happy camper if I can't upgrade because of Apple... I will throw a major tantrum!
Google, act & appeal fast and fix this mess!!!!
Comments, Thoughts, Last Wishes?
I am not saying this will happen, but is quite possible if the government doesn't block Apple in their tracks from doing so... (I think once Google Appeals, these parents will be made standard for touchscreens...)

The one saving grace is that it's pretty clear the current patent system that dates back to George Washington in 1790 is clearly broken as it applies to technology. Should Apple start abusing their horde of patents to eliminate competition leaving them as the only purveyor of functioning smartphones and tablets governments worldwide will intervene. It's already started with Judge Posner throwing out the Apple v. Motorola case in Chicago with prejudice calling it "ridiculous" based on lack of or concocted damages. If Apple wins the Samsung case in California they'll lose anyway. It'll be the beginning of a massive move toward patent reform because in a democratic society you don't let one manufacturer control an entire industry whether their patents entitle them to or not.

Patent reform needed...

Old news, a repost and a lot of misleading and wrong information. Good job trying to direct traffic to your site thought, you could have just asked.

Do any of Google's newly acquired patents from Moto have any teeth against Apple?

International patents? No. Wouldn't worry unless the US succeeds with there Anglo/American Corporate Fascist NWO.

Sick of the US fear movement, move along! Nothing to worry about but more madness from the madhouse. Civil war again soon so enjoy the continuing mad stage show of Barry Soetoro the Manchurian CIA sock puppet of the 0.001 percent Lastly, Apple isn't that far up the US gov ass. It avoids paying a **** load of tax. That's a positive for Google. Also forgetting Google is like FB, it's sponsored by intelligence. The government isn't going to ban all these spy tools snooping for them!

How exactly does Apple have patents for things they didn't invent? Oh, wait, I remember now, theft.
I'm not sure that Apple CAN be granted patents for technology that already existed - smartphones have been around far longer than the iPhone, despite what the Apple folks would have us believe and I had phones that were doing these sorts of things long before Apple came along.
The law may be an ass, but I don't think it's a complete tool.

Really funny how it's only Samsung and Samsung made devices that are on the hit list so far....
Though if they drag google into it then ALL android devices will be affected... Will be funny to see how this will pan out as before it was Apple (America - LA) vs Samsung (Korea) and Apple won, now it will be Apple vs Google (both America based) and that might be a fairer match...

Apples litigation only alienates consumers. I for one will never purchase another product from them no matter how good it is.
They should try competing with products instead of competing in the court room.

I mean after sometime you just lose respect - they are in news for these court cases lately. If they had put this much energy in improving their own product(s), they wouldn't have to fall back on "retina" every time a new (really ?) product was released..

Apple says everything. Whine, whine, whine...

Apple: if you can't innovate, litigate.

Yes Apple feel Samsung is catching up and also overtaking them in innovations in cell phones so they are taking the easy way out they already were embarresed by a UK court and their appeals are not in good shape in US also with bans lifted on Tab so I think they are going insane.

I never used to dislike Apple so much, but every time they pull out another lawsuit it just makes me want to convert everyone to Android.
