That's competition: when someone makes a product, other people try to make a
similar product that's either better, cheaper or both. You can't deal with
competition, you don't belong in the business world. Ford doesn't whine because
GM or Honda copied their idea of "automobile", they just come up with models
that offer something in looks or features or reliability or price that people
prefer over the alternatives. If they're successful, the model sells well. If
they aren't, they go back to the drawing board. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Thus is quite a naive statement, and
disconnected from reality. There is
nothing remotely similar between
Samsung devices and Apples - unless
you consider basic phone
functionally, which means ALL phones
are a copy of each others.
On the merits, NONE of the patents
Apple is asserting should be
granted. There is nothing novel
about them. They just happen as
part of the normal advances in touch
screens - advances Apple has nothing
to do with except being a customer
of the makers of these screens (one
of them is Samsung)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If I were to do the same against Apple, then the problem
with Apple is that
they never innovate something original.
Their business model for decades has
been take inventions of
someone else, wrap them in a shiny package and sell it
to a
cult-like fan following.
Just to debunk the allegation further.
Samsung is one of the
many companies that have made possible by their own
innovations a majority of the components inside the shiny
package of iPhone /
iPad possible. Things like "retina-
display" sound cool and bumping up display
resolution
density is an obvious evolution. But, manufacturing
processes to be
able to manufacture high pixel density
screens in bulk and economically is
non-trivial.
Same reason why Intel / AMD / Samsung / NVidia etc are
trying to move to smaller and smaller nm
manufacturing in their
processor dies. 45nm, 32nm, 22nm and
so on. There are several non-trivial
things involved before
a denser manufacturing becomes economically and
technically
viable. But, companies like Apple market these
innovations as
if their own just by virtue of integrating
these in their products for the
first time.
Apple is a relatively new player in the Phone market
(only
since 2007). For all the polish in their products, they
chose design
over function in their 4th phone causing the
antenna-gate. Companies like
Samsung have been in the fore-
front of wireless technology and innovation for
much longer
than that. Samsung had innovations in the development of the
3G
standard at the time when Apple chose to ignore 3G and go
with GPRS and EDGE
(2G) in their first iPhone.
Sweeping generalization is no good. Apple
may be a good
design company. But, it wants to claim complete monopoly
over
the entire market for an entire category of touch-
screen enabled smart-phones
which is ridiculous. The
technology of capacitive touch screens and powerful
enough
mobile CPUs to go into a mobile hand-set was evolving. Apple
showed to
the world that there is a huge market for phones
without a keyboard. But, Apple
essentially wants to claim
that they "invented" multi-touch and they "invented"
the
modern touchscreen smartphone, which is utter lies !!!

Lovely comment, unhappily completely wrong.
Only in the US , Samsung is the 2nd biggest innovator only
after IBM.
Guess what, Apple is around 40 in the rank. Every year. Huawei
have more new patent every year than Apple. Panasonic, LG,
Sony, Toshiba...all around the first 10.
Read more, listen less Apple.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If that is true how is that Apple stuff is built using invented and manufactured
Samsung parts? Seems to me that US influenced media may have swallowed the Apple
propaganda without question.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
