Samsung Dealt 3 Blows in Apple Case: Banned in Australia, Looks Bad in U.S. & More

Personally I am tired of hearing all of the crying. Its competition, get over it. I'm sorry but anyone that can't tell the difference between the two has some issues. Apple has a button on the front, Samsung doesn't, Apple has a smaller screen, different camera placement. Personally Apple is scared to death, Which they should be. They have been riding the same technology for years now. While I respect there innovation there latest products have to me always been nothing more than app launchers where android came in and made an experience. I'm not trying to be a fan boy but the more Apple cries foul, The less use I see for there app launchers in my home. If they put an android OS on an ipad 2 I might buy one of those, until then I'll stick with my 10.1. To clarify I have an OG ipad that my 6 year old now uses and there was an iphone in my household but the user has recently seen the light and it is now gone. I'm thankful that apple got all this started but they have certainly fallen behind.

 

"Apps launchers" vs. an experience. Really a very succinct, and accurate, assessment.

I don't really care about the tablets. Just so long as we get our Nexus!

 

Samsung brought this upon themselves for practically copying the look of the Apple devices.

Its very telling that Apple is only singling them out, and hasn't gone after HTC and Moto in this regard, because their devices are far different from the Apple ones. Sure, there might be small infringements here and there, but nothing as egregious as Samsung.

 

Agree. While there might not be a million and one ways to make a tablet, samsungs offerings look like direct ripoffs both in presentation and advertising. Its not really a question of whether or not ppl buy ipads and then get home and realize they actually bought a galaxy tab. Our resident armchair patent lawyers don't seem to get that...but glad the courts see past the "is it fair" crap and go with what's right.

But yeah as long as I get my nexus I'm happy haha

 

Makes me want to buy a Samsung product even more.

 

Same here.

I see the likeness and the point but for Apple to throw the tantrum to the point they have is ridiculous. If you go to the back wall of any Best Buy there lyes the example of my case. Take a look at all those televisions and tell me how many of them you have to look at the tag to find out what name brand it is. We are surrounded by likeness' every where we turn. These two particular items set down side by side, the difference all though similar are night and day. Apple is out of ideas and is obviously going to do all they can to salvage the ride a little longer, I don't blame them but am disappointed in them, their latest release speaks for the company as a whole.. I think this entire thing has deeper issues internally between the two vs what the public is actually seeing.

 

Do any tablet makers have a choice though? How many ways can you package a flat-screen television and make it look unique? They all look the same to me. Or toilet paper, for that matter? If it were a flat-out clone, yeah, I'd be a bit upset also. But it's what happens on and behind the screen that counts. I'd rather see both companies innovate than litigate, personally. Samsung certainly has room for improvement to step out ahead of the competition. That R&D money is going to the attorneys.

 

Samsung is definatly trying to copy apple in more ways then one in a failed attempt to get a piece of apple's pie.

the microphone image is kind of pushing it because that's pretty standard but the rest is a definite copy.

Patents are different for every product so all the TV and car analogies hold absolutely no weight in this case. The fact that literally every court is ruling against Samsung says a lot, and don't give me any Apple bought the courts out garbage.
