Such as "rectangle with rounded corners" "speaker on top,
single round button at bottom" (which I think have lots of
prior art, but maybe not the combination of both as my
search for the combination came up empty).
So Samsung may have to change the physical appearance of
their products to look excessively different from the
iPhone/iPad in order to escape the injunction which is about
to be issued in a rush process where Judge Kuh (whose name
is German for "cow") just shortened the schedule from one
month to one day.
Example 1: The Compaq/HP iPaq had speaker on top, camera on
back, single round button at bottom, but it was not a
symmetric rounded rectangle.
Example 2: The HTC Diamond had speaker on top, camera on
back, single visible round button at bottom and is a
symmetric rectangle, but it isn't rounded and post-dates the
iPhone anyway.
Example 3: Samsung phones like the S2 and the S3
consistently tries to keep the light in the extra touch
buttons left and right of the round button turned off, which
makes them much harder to use ("Where is that button now on
this model"), but makes it *look* more like a button-
deprived iPhone.
Example 4: I would suggest buttons that are entirely on the
sides of the phone (leaves more room for the screen too),
sides that are entirely oval and all different, like on
natural beach stones, all plugs and the lanyard hook at the
top and a non-black/white color that reflects the bundled OS
"green for Android, silver for Windows Mobile classic, beer-
yellow for Brew, Finland-light-blue for Meego and other
binary Linux, London bus red for Symbian/Psion, puke-
yellowish-brown for Windows Phony and Windows RoT 8".

I was thinking the same thing, actually hoping for it. In the past I've avoided
Samsung because of their Touch Wiz interface. Recently we chose a Galaxy Nexus
for my wife instead of a GS3 because we wanted the UI to match her GN7 even
though I would have much rather gotten the GS3 for the hardware.
