I don't even know how or why the hell this was passed. Unbelievable.
looking at the patent descriptions, it seems like a number of devices would be in violation, not just android. the diagrams and wording of the patents are very broad.
Don't believe any articles that quote Florian Mueller.
F**K Apple! Thats all i can say.
Soon apple will try to patent the freaking air we breathe...

If someone invents "it", then they have the right to own it. Simple as that.
Apple has been copied for years.. Mac System GUI, then bingo WINDOWS came along... Mouse on the mac, then BOOM - Mouse (mice?) on PC's... Touchscreen iPhone - now the biggest part of phones are touchscreen. As I remember one of the best selling phone's before the iPhone was maybe the Motorola Razr? flip, buttons, etc... I remember my Nokia N95 was awesome at the time. GPS, Dual slider with MP3 player by sliding 1 way, and phone sliding the other way... NO TOUCHSCREEN. And nokia's big business phone was the Communicator which was a huge candy bar style that flipped open length wise to reveal a keyboard and wide screen... again, no touch.
No reason to get angry...
My palm treo had a touch screen.

SJ is just too proud to admit that there's a design flaw in the iphone4. Besides the stupid Apple fanboys are still buying it despite the flaw.
Wait, what flaw? There's a flaw with an apple product, nahhh; couldn't be!
I showed this fanboy my evo and he actually wants one now. Hah.
I almost feel bad for the few I know with the iPhone 4.
Almost.
Just give them the damn bumpers like you have for some in the UK.
Still doesn't fix the actual problem but it will help .

I never had anything against apple or steve jobs UNTIL this problem showed up. The issue with the iphone 4 just justified everybody's assumptions about steve jobs and his fan boys. I lost any respect i had for jobs when he made the stupid decision to ignore the antenna issue...
He should have just given everybody free bumpers, that would have been the cheapest and most viable solution...Now he's screwed

You mean, like, by touching OSX in a no no place it won't boot anymore or something?.
why not
just move that gap to the bottom of the phone on futur models? I mean who puts there fingers on the bottom of the phone when making a call or even the top for that matter. The top might even be a better choice. Also isnt the antena a bad thing to be touching most things I read say not to have the antena to close to your face.
And lastly with a case its no longer the thinest smart phone.
Wait one more. How can we call this phone a smart phone with such a stupid flaw, im not even sure we can call it a phone, maybe a mini ipad since it dont make calls lol.
Its like nintendo when the wii first came out, first they gave everyone free better lanyards for there wiimotes, and then they gave eveyone Free bumpers for them. (although the nintendo thing was more of an operator error than a major design flaw)

Its incredible how fan boys will see past the MAJOR flaw and still decide to get the icrap 4. I had a co worker pre order his, so i decided to inform him of the issue. Mind you, I showed him about 5 different websites. He said and I quote "yeah but the new version of itunes will fix that" WTF??? So today i sent him a link to CR duct tape solution and left him a roll of duct tape on his desk....lmao

Yea your buddy is just like any other apple fanboy, stupid and wouldn't know a real smart phone if it hit them in their nerd glasses.
Apple doesn't really care about the problem on current phones. They will have it fixed on the 4g version. Same reason they didn't put a higher res camera on the back and the front. Just more reason for fanboys to upgrade again. Then the 4GS will have the video over 4G instead of wifi only and again another upgrade. Its perfect strategy for apple. Its always worked for them in the past. Why change now??

Actually it's more than just the shape of tablet. Samsung completely ripped off charger and cable design from Apple. Their latest Series laptop (forgot the number) resemble the MacBook Pro. Ports position etc.
So I wouldn't say it's unfair. Samsung just got to wake up and design something different. Even charger design is copied. Kinda disgusted.
Am not an Apple supporter but trying to be neutral here. Love my Tab anytime over iPad.

Mick,
Don't worry. I love anything over Apple anytime.
I am referring to this laptop. Ain't stupid not to tell it's copied, but I will get Series 7 too over MacBook Pro thanks to Samsung. However, I will not hesitate to report a crime even if he is my father.
Laptop Series 7
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/samsung-unveils-series-7-laptops-we-go-hands-on/
Regarding your LG. It's different design no comparison. Don't just look at the surface, it's more than just the device but other hardeare within.
As for your slim Samsung laptop, it's different too. Take a look at my link.
I mean both devices are pretty different.... Galaxy Tab was obviously meant to be used in landscape and while iPad 2 is meant to be used in portrait... ughh Apple i mean they have pretty decent products out there... why resort to killing competition?
Apple has it wrong on the GTap 10.1
Actually I agree with most that the GTab 10.1 is different then the iPad 2. The screen is a diferent Rez, the processor is a Tegra 2, the casing is completely different - Plastic. The speakers are stereo over mono, the charger while it looks similar is actually wired much diferent. It is unlikely you would be able to plug it into your iPhone or vice versa. The built in cameras are different, and most of all it is android and not iOS.
I'm sorry Apple but I think you have this one wrong. I actually have an iPhone 4, and am happy with it, but I can see myself going android all the way the next time around after all the sueing Apple has been doing.
I haven't heard anyone bought an ipad and got home and it was a gtab.

“From our point of view, it’s important that Apple not be the developer for the world. We can’t take all of our energy and all of our care and finish the painting, then have someone else put their name on it,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said...
Are you kidding me?! Bunch of snooty babies it sounds like.
Apple are just a bunch of crybabies. End of story. All they're doing is suing other companies because they can't do anything else to beat them.
Yeah, if you guys haven't read Steve Jobs' Biography... Well let me tell you a little story.
I admired Apple when they released the first bunch of the iPhones, they were the only company innovating a "smartphone" which the consumers could get their hands on. I admired Jobs for who he was, what he had done. He was a legend in my eyes.
Then I read the biography and found out he was a huge ego-boosted douchebag.
the end.
are......you..... ****ing.......serious! so now apple can basically QQ towards the us courts about every phone with a multi touch interface android an possibly even windows mobile? ffs patents on gui's should never be passed cause lets face it almost all of them are the same in one sahpe or another with pc for instance you can go to windows/linux an have ui that are nearly identical (though scripted entirely different)
Crazy, huh? Xridder6 jobs was a spoke person, that's it. He was too stupid to take medical help, he stayed with his vegan crap and died. On a serious note this patent can be severely damaging. But apple didn't invent a touch screen. There's still hope. Like you guys said, they're attacking because they feel pressure. If you corner someone they will attack but guess what? They will win. That's us.

It's not that I don't like iPhones (i do prefer Androids) but its the fact that Apple is suing everyone that makes me hate them so much.
I like competition in the mobile market. It's good for consumers. Companies competing = cheaper devices for consumers.
As much as I would like everyone in the world to have an Android... I need someone to make fun of for owning a device that cannot compete with Android.
Android will take over the mobile market in the next decade or two if Apple doesn't quickly pull something innovative out of their asses.

I was very disappointed to read the verdict - sad day for Samsung and their users. My question is - if Apple gets the judge to invoke the injunction does that mean that our rooted phones will also have to strip out the offending routines? Just makes me hate the zealots even more. Wonder how many of the members of the jury and judge had iphones? Does that mean that Apple cannot have any part of Project Butter?? Love my JB and the fact that my 2 year old phone is still cutting edge!!
On a different note, you mentioned that you are using FFC. I have installed one, but so far have not been able to fire it up. Is there any zip file with the i9000 FFC files on it? Would really like to know if mine is working.

Having wheels with a round circumference
someone really needs to get a wiffleball bat an start swining for the fences on these apple yahoos they may have generalized smart phones but if you take cars into consideration it be like the first car with 4 wheels well hey 4 wheels is balanced an is general.
an also i hope that google has some sort of super patent waiting to deal with that stupid apple patent for searching :/
if anything apple needs to have all their vague broad patents voided until they can make it narrow an none broad
Patents on trade dress are ridiculous "a rectangle with gently rounded corners" " a screen with even space from the bottom and top to the bezel"
I didn't know apple invented rectangles and other symmetrical shapes?? And then some of the patents are obvious stuff, bounce back, screen pinch, REALLY
The fact of the matter is nobody bought a sgs1 or any other Sammy products thinking it was apple products.
When you go to the big box stores apple products are usually merchandised in another area than most other OEM's.
Apple just has their panties in a wad because Sammy is actually selling more smart phones than them and their products are comparable, better IMO, to theirs.
Its not Sammy's fault that apple has only released like six smart phones. They put out products to appeal to everyone, not just an elite group of pretentious asses.

You'll really love this posting to facebook that I found then. Check it out, it freaking beautiful on Benz' part and really drives the point too.
I just saw the most incredible interview involving a Mercedes Benz executive talking candidly about his disgust with how Apple has been acting lately in court about the whole smartphone ordeal. I wish I could find it to share in full but I came accross it while channel surfing. In a nutshell, he said "We at Mercedes own over 80,000 patents worldwide including the rights to the first self-propel
led 4 wheeled vehicle, or as we all would call it today, the 'CAR'. We could take every car manufacturer in the world to court with legitemate claims that they copied our idea and force them put out 3 or 2 or 5 wheeled vehicles etc. Do we? Of course not! We exist today as we do because we bring the absolute best we can build to the market year after year. When he's asked if they're worried about the constant attempts to copy them as Apple claims Samsung and Google did, he just smiles and says "let them try, that's what has kept us at the top of our craft for over 100 years. Why would we stop now?" -Absolutely brilliant! That's how a real innovative company acts. Mercedes for president!

If this allowed, Samsung should hurry and produce a prototype next week so they can sue Apple if they release later.
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.

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.

Samsung made 3.45 Billion in a quarter of 2012. Do you really think they can't handle a 1 billion dollar advertisement? This didn't kill them.

It seems to have pissed off alot of folks who used to like Apple and their stale, monotonous product line. I have three cohorts who converted to Android and Windows phones as a result of this lawsuit crap. And I can't wait till they announce the iPhone 5 and everyone sees what a big "nothing" it is. The iSheep are gonna look like kids who wake up Christmas morning to find a stocking full of coal...

Dont be silly. The iSheeple will look at that piece of coal and harp on how shiny a diamond they have. ROFL!
While it sucks they did lose, I do hope it doesn't result in a takedown of major phones. Samsung has been releasing some interesting stuff, and I really do want to hold out on getting a new one 'till they come out with a new slider. I can't imagine what I'd choose if Samsung's development was hindered because of this stupid ordeal.
