Nah they're suing for the "Slide to Unlock" patent, which is stupid, since there's hardly any similarity in their lock screens.
What's even more stupid is Apple is trying to patent facial recognition as well, even though they don't even have the freaking feature yet.

Didn't you guys see the bio of steve jobs. He said android was a stolen idea and would spend all of apples money litigating the issue in every major company. But you know what's hilarious is autorities in china are pulling ipads off of retailers shelves due to another company owning that name lol cracks me up.
Lol, its just sad that theyre scraping any little feature to try and use against android. Slide unlock? Really? Whats next? I would have a tad more respect for apple if they would just die like men instead of the whining we've witnessed lately.

I don't know that Apple can die at all, with the a userbase comprised of illiterates and blind followers. They make exorbitant profits, and for what?! Nothing is going to the employees or the users, just vast bank accounts. I'd feel better about this if they had a reason for it other than "THIS TAKES POTENTIAL PROFITS FROM US!!! SUE SUE SUE!!!"
Name one time thy Android actually stole an idea from iOS.
In Soviet Epic forum, clockworkmod root you!
Well, there is the 'i' in Android
They are also claiming that the nexus infringes their patent of the hyperlink, this is getting ridiculous. Microsoft and apple are also the ones that want everyone to agree to a commitment to not sue for patent infringement of technologies which are essential for devices to work. Apple wants everyone to do as they say, not as they do.
Even if android is a copy of iOS (it isn't), it is an open source alternative. They are attempting to sue a company distributing free, open, software.
In Soviet Epic forum, clockworkmod root you!
This is Bull **** Apple needs to be sued by google seeing how in iOS5 they put the drop down notifications menu in and also should be sued because they took our android lockscreen puzzle etc..... What has it come down to suing for every little damn thing. Seriously they want to play like that then we should sue em for all their dumb Bull**** patents. GTFOH APPLE
Apple is panicking... before some phone would match the iPhone of that Gen and they'd +1 they're iPhone with a feature they held back from the previous model now they really can't so what do they do? Sue.

I'm sure someone will come up with prior art to it anyway and make them burn.
The damage however is done - Apple does not care about winning (well maybe a little) but about the news coverage of them suing for copyright infrigment.
Worst case Google has to move Android development to e.g. their r&d center in Switzerland or UK (afaik none of both countries have software patents). US-customers are screwed, not Android.
It is such a childish thing for them to do. Just because android is getting bigger than apple for once.

I doubt the courts will let android be taken down by Apple. Surely there will be some line drawn!
Guys calm down. Swearing and wishing a horrible death to someone who died already a painful death is not making you look mature or protecting any company from IP claims.
We are talking about huge companies sueing each other publicly. Just because the press didn't cover it before as much didn't mean it didn't happen. Take SCO for instance. I think 99% of the readers won't even recognize that brand - had they been able to prove (or at least successfully claim) copyright to Unix, Linux (known as today) and by extension the Linux-based systems such as Android would not be FOSS (free and opensource). (At least not in the US)
My point is, let them wage their wars, sit back and enjoy the show. If no media cover it, they won't try such high-stake obviously media-oriented stunts.
Even if Apple should gain the patents, they most likely will result in FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) which means a few Cent more to the already very high IP cost per device.
Oh, just a note:
Both Google-released Android browsers rely on Webkit which has been started as a fork of KHTML/KJS by... Apple.
If you want to print something on UNIXiod operating systems you most probably use CUPS by.... Apple
The only non-proprietary programming language for GPU-based programs, OpenCL, was started by... Apple
Don't say they just steal. They added and continue to add a lot of great functionality to opensource software we rely on every day.
Yeah, it's 25 patents. Compared to how many patents there are total, like Motorola which is owned by Google which has like 4000+ patents, that's very little.
It also depends on specifics, like for example Motorola owns its own patent on multi touch etc.
This will be a large lame battle of "technicalities" that can be interpreted correctly or incorrectly.

If the courts allowed Apple to ban devices infringing on these patents then this would create a monopoly. So it won't happen all I see happening is the possibility of Google paying a fee to apple for use of the patents. Which sucks!
How on earth could anyone possibly grant apple a patent for lists? Even the old Nokia 3310 had lists. The patent office might just as well have granted them a patent for the ability to make calls.

Oh well, got my 7.7 months ago. Now Samsung just need to come out with 7.7 ver 2 which they just need to tweak the design.
A stupid patent that patent a generic rectangular black tablet with rounded corners. Thought I saw that years ago on LCD photo frames. And they spent months if not a year on this in court. Seriously Apple, time to move on and actually innovate.
and exactly such things are the reason for me to NOT buy products from apple!!! never!!!
although i have to admit that they are usually well designed... but their childishness really
piss me on!
After buying Apple for 5 years I am getting annoyed with this nonsense.
I have an iPad 2 and an Tab 7.7 and they are so different its a joke.
No iPhone 5 for me; but an S3 (when the price drops a little )

Apple certainly 'innovate' - I don't think anyone has tried patent trolling a product that's already been available a year before your own device comes out, before. Way to go Apple, you've done what was previously considered impossible.
I guess this is what happens when you take a litigation-crazy company and combine it with a cash pile of billions of dollars.

I suspect that Germany has a more lax definition of what constitutes copyright infringement than most other EU countries.
There were 4:3 aspect ratio tablets (Windows) before the iPad -- even had IPS screens. Motion Computing should sue Apple for billions.
The automakers should be suing each other because every car has four tires/tyres. :silly:
After all this Crap I think Apples Pooped in its OWN NEST...
like what another member said in another thread, its Apple's way of telling people in EU to wait for their iPad Mini and to hold off from buying the competitions products
let it be...it is just a beginning of Apple's end.....not able to innovate = not able to compete soon
we know it, Apple knows it, just customers do not know it.....but that is why Apple is so scared of innovations
just say everywhere what iRotten Apple is doing and thats all we can do now

I agree. Also there were tablet computers like the iPad in 1984's movie "2010: The Year We Make Contact". Director Peter Hyams should sue the hell out of apple for copying that design!
This whole sueing thing is getting really ridiculous. Shame on apple for beeing not only childish, but also a bad loser.

Why is the 7.7 crossed out with "high risk for volume"
unfortunately I can't seem to find the documents from where this slide came from.
According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.
Anyone else have thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

I just want to get a Samsung Captive Glide, switch to Net10/Straight Talk, and call it a day. I have no idea what this means as far as downloading or updating apps or updating the system specs or whatever. But that's all I want until the NEXT powerful Android with a keyboard comes out.
Right now I just have the Epic 4G, and when I get $500 I'll get the Captivate Glide. I hope by then nothing hinky happens when I try to activate then unlock it.
The only effect it will have will be Apple's attempt to go after companies like Motorola & HTC. Pinch-to-Zoom is on every android device, I think and they will most likely use this victory to add fuel to their nuke android campaign.
There will be a lot of change to the android software and a lot of change android phone designs that are rectangular.
And last F*** Apple.
As bad as this could be for Samsung, look at it this way, they could come up with something more innovative than apple ever will. Maybe Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use mini-projectors in mobile devices and follow through with those plans. (And patent designs before release)

But I think I'm loosing respect for apple as $1B is a slap in the face. Instead of tearing a company down by suing them. Apple could just make a phone 10X better and Then Samsung would do the same. It would be a continuous loop. That's competition. OH AND APPLE SAMSUUNG PHONES LOOK NOTHINHG LIKE YOUR SMALL 3.5" SCREEN DESIGN.

How much different can a phone icon look and still be recognized as a phone icon? Was apple the first company ever to make something rectangular with rounded edges? Were they the first to make a user interface with squares? How can they patent this stuff and sue over it? Its the most generic stuff. Ridiculous. And they sued their largest partner, who makes about 90% of the components in the iPhone/iPad. Apple seems to be done innovating. They take features from Android and then try to make them sound revolutionary. Then, they sue the companies actually innovating and make their products delayed or taken off shelves. The iPhone 1 was revolutionary and really made the smartphone market the way it is today (everyone has one, not just geeks or business people). But they haven't done anything since then. They've made the camera better, screen a bit better, and changed processor.

Apple is just for those social climbers who think they look cool if they have an apple device with them.. They dont realize that Apple is just ripping them off..
Lets face it, If Steve Jobs wasnt the man he was, Then apple wouldnt be where it is today.
Im not defending either of them, But the figures speak for themselves. Apple is the most popular product out there, Although hardly any of their devices are made themselves, Using Samsung parts (then suing them ?!? WTF !?!) and LG screens ect ect.
Maybe they are so popular because the majority of the world has been brainwashed ? Or because the devices are easy to use, Packed with features, Sync anything and everything where ever you want, Keep upto date with the world all at your fingertips ?
Not everyone is a Hacker / Modder, So the iphone / pad is perfect for them. If i where to buy a tab, Id probably get a samsung one, Because I have a samsung phone and could do cool stuff between the 2 devices, Same goes with iPhone & iPad.
If something is deemed 'cool' then it becomes a craze and people follow like 'sheep' So someone gets an iPhone, Shows it off, others want one, then they show it off and more people want one etc etc etc.
There are a lot of bad people in the world, Deal with it, Whether you think steve jobs was a d1ck or an idol is upto you.
