I dont like apple. I would never own an apple device (unless it was given to me) that being said, Steve Jobs was a legend!
He revolutionized the Mobile industry, Albeit the lawsuits between Apple & Samsung are ludicrous and I feel they are only doing it because of the extreme competition with Samsungs latest devices.
The iPhone is a great phone for anyone not interested in hacking / developing.
And on that note..............................Reported !

The only thing iphone was first with was a fluid ui everything else already existed imho steve jobs is one of the most overated people and a pshycopath in the true meaning of the word not the insult. He invented nothing and stole alot from others even from appel when he wasn't ceo, its beyond me how he got that godlike reputation since he only seemed to be a parasite living of the brains of others
But to be happy that he's dead... I think its taking it a bit far

Yeah i'm an Android fan also.. I never liked apple products and services..
:highfive: NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL :highfive:
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.
But thats business! screw people over to make millions.

This its not true.... Search in wiki.. For statistics.... 60% of the smartphone market share belongs to android around the world... The other 40% splits between apple/windows/blackberry etc...
And from the 100% of Android universe... 60% belongs to Samsung... So apple is going after the biggest fish... The most popular smartphones in the world are the Samsung galaxy family ..

Seriously is apple really that scared?
I really hope this doesn't delay the Australian release.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...samsung-from-selling-tablet-in-australia.html
They must be that scared
you never heard anything from apple until just recently when the android phones and tablets are really starting to challenge apple, they now see android and the companies that make android phones/tabs as a threat and they cant develop iOS fast enough to stay ahead so are now doing all they can to slow the pace of the android train down.
lets be honest iOS has been the same since launch and it really needs a overhaul.
Seriously?! I used to respect apple with there innovation and cutting edge technology but since they began all these lawsuits and injunctions I have totally lost all respect for them and their "big bully boy" attitude towards its competition. Shame on Apple! They must really fear the 10.1 TAB... Maybe alienating themselves from Samsung who made a fair bit of Apple's components wasn't such a good idea....
For now, Apple has successfully blocked the sale of the galaxy tab 10.1 in Australia till the lawsuit is settled. who know how long that is. I really hope samsung blocks the ipad3!
I don't think Apple is scared, the iPad is way too dominate at this point, I just think they're greedy assholes.

I wouldn't be too sure. Second quarter numbers show that Apple's share of tablets shipped in the second quarter dropped from 96% in 2010 to just over 60% in 2011. Android's market share increased from 2.9% to over 30%.
If that isn't scary to Apple, then they're fools.

Ordered mine online, there weren't any turtleneck wearing Apple agents at customs making sure my Tab 10.1 didn't get to me.
Also, no one in Australia drinks Fosters beer because a) it's horrible and no one in their right mind would drink it and b) it's only sold internationally and you can't actually buy it inside Australia unless you're at an airport or something.

This ruling has stink written all over it. A corporation in Country A is able to persuade Country B's judicial system (6K miles away), to cockblock Country C (also 6K miles away), from selling them widgets.

Good for Samsung. TBH, they should just kiss & make up. It would benefit if both sides were to do that in the long run.
The tab is now delayed thanks to Apple. I cant believe they are complaining about "touch and feel" and "finger gestures". The only finger gesture Samsung should give apple is....
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/08/samsung-officially-postpones-galaxy-tab-10-1-launch-event/
It's great, a mate of mine has an iPad 2 and I've got my GT10.1 and we can't see any similarities between either of them when we compare em. They're two entirely different beasts for different consumers.
He had a play around with my Tab and was like "dude, this is so different from what I'm used to with the iPad".
I have an iMac and MBP at home. So an iPhone and load would make alot of media swapping easier. But honestly, Android allows me to design the device interface better for how I need it for quick access on the go.
Apple may find themselves on the other side of those law suits when they finally decide to overhaul their UI. Serious, their iOS5 redesign of notifications has been in Android since 1.0! Watch out Apple.... your doing exactly what you are accusing others of doing to you. All you need is to be the Microsoft of the 2000's .... you recall how you dealt with them right? Next you'll be developing an Android iTunes App and an Android iPhone/iPad.
Tread lightly with all your lawsuits. I came to Apple for home computing because my needs are DJ, remix, and simplicity and great one stop support between the two environments. Don't make me regret trusting you by worrying about only the competition and not your customers

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.

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.....

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.

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.

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)

Well Samsung has been attacking apple for a while on purpose. Look at the adapter module for their chargers looks just like the iPhone Version. And the phone icon looks just like the iOS version. That's about it.No reason to sue its all about advancing technology. I think apple is just trying to get rid of competition. I love Samsung, I love iOS. 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.

Next thing we know they'll add something to the iPhone like a 4 inch screen and an LTE radio and sue over that

Crapple is just scared because theyre riding this iphone garbage train as long as they can. Samsung will surely slam a future product in their faces. Lets face it, without steve jobs, the innovation is over for them.

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.
