Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

englishpremier · 4 Oct 2011 at 10:24

With all this patent nonsense WP7 might be about to become very attractive to OEMs.

HTC already came out and said WP7 makes up over 20% of all their sales and is going to rise.

Then we've got samsung's commitment to WP7, plus of course Nokia.

WP7 isn't really applicable to tablets though is it, and phone wise it seems the rectangle bit doesn't apply or Apple would be suing for all smartphones as well

AFAIK the 3 remaining patents in Australia are UI/Touch based ones, and the offer from Samsung was to tweak the software to avoid using these, and Apple have basically said they'd rather not have the competition...

I already had a bit of an irrational anti-apple stance but now I really hope Samsung gets some traction in Korea/Europe/<others> with this potential new case against the iPhone 5, some nice injuctions to stop sales for as long as possible and it's all good

Windows8 does though.

I expect certain patents to be overturned and by the look of court cases and the fact samsung appears to be back peddling, for samsung and other to be the net losers(but all parties to win some and lose some). But in real terms won't make sod all difference. It's all pocket change to them.

Indeed, but not relevant for another year or so, assuming it doesn't slip at all.

Quite probably, and both companies can afford whatever happens, would just like to see Apple 'lose' once or twice though

Samsung have supposedly filed for a ban on iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 in Europe.

It's just *** for tat now, the judge should just throw the whole thing out of court.

BananaDunka · 5 Oct 2011 at 11:07

The judge might get sued

That doesn't happen.

So now let's have a go at the iPhone 4S:

Not be able to buy a 4S, so not much of a loss then.

They won't get it banned in time anyway (or even at all), so it's not like it matters.

It would be a pretty big loss to people that buy the phone that is best for them instead of arguing about it.

You really think the average person on the street looks up the pros/cons to decide the iPhone is best for them?

hehehe lol bless

"hehehe"

No, but I'm sure quite a lot of them do.

In fact, I know plenty of people that do, myself included.

Have you got anything constructive to add instead of just being an irritating troll?

Alpherah · 5 Oct 2011 at 12:38

The typical iPhone buyer only wants to know:

Whats the picture taking ability like
Whats the video recording like
What are the apps like
Any quirky features?
Price!

How do i know? i just described my other half and her sister in a nutshell

Now on topic - anyone else predicting that the more this drags on the more Apple/Samsung will just settle?

Why bother to even reply then? You've RTMd which was the correct thing but then you decided to take the matter into your own hands.. It doesn't make any sense at all..

The problem is that it becomes much harder for us to remove troll posts when everyone else starts posting follow up comments and/or even quoting.
