So superior that they couldn't come up with a superior interface, the
primary way users interact with and identify with their device.... At least MS
tried to innovate the interface and user interaction. Making an iClone+ is
not beating Apple at their own game. Metro is. Where is the
Android/FOSS Metro?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You are certainly welcome to the opinion that Android is a superior operating
system, but that is not really the question. The question is, why would Samsung
go out of their way to copy the iPhone even after Google pleaded with them
(based on the evidence presented at the trial) to make changes? Why would they
not exercise some of the "superior" nature of Android to build a
superior interface? Why not show that superiority off by demolishing the Apple
offering with a great twist on the UI?
I am not even saying it has to be something revolutionary, but it should be at
least somewhat different. The Metro UI is a good example.
Samsung's history is replete with copying. It is part of their business model.
Find something that another company is doing well, copy it, and beat the other
company on price because of operational efficiency. They did it with chips,
televisions, and now they have done it with phones.
They just happened to run into a company with patents on the things they were
copying and got called out for it. Whether you agree with the patents being
there in the first place is a different question.
