Don't worry his Signature says it all.
Anyway, the only real war to be won is customer happiness, and you just know it ain't Android wearing that crown!
People in the Mobile phone section don't exactly seem unhappy, and at a guess over 80% of the users in there have an android phone. That includes me, and I'm not unhappy
Steve Jobs, so far up his own backside and people say he is a genius?
Atleast Bill Gates give billions to charity. What did Steve give? He was all about taking!
Android is massive! Live with it!
Not hard to understand why they are in bed with MS.........both think they are something special.

Don't waste your time replying to amtechfox, he is just a massive apple fanboy who has his tongue so far up steves backside, it's unreal
Well you should have made that more clear
Afaik yes, and the reason those ones are is because they are 2 of the most successful android mobiles compared to the rest of Samsungs mobiles, same goes for the tablets as there are other samsung mobiles that look pretty much the same but aren't as popular or good for hardware, which aren't being sued.

Well I guess that apple do have it easier being that they control the hardware.Anyway, the only real war to be won is customer happiness, and you just know it ain't Android wearing that crown!

Calm down GD ladies, sorry fanboys! I’ll organise a duel at dawn with handbags and smartphones on Wimbledon Common for you. The Wombles will be your seconds.
Don't waste your time replying to me, I'm just a massive google fanboy who has my tongue so far up larry's backside, I can taste his lunch.
FTFY.
I am perfectly calm and not a lady!!!!! Fanboy of android.......maybe a tiny bit!
But not as strong of a fanboy as some of the apple fanboys here

Let's at least maintain a level of maturity here - if you state something as fact then prepare to back it up.
Its really sad reading any thread on android and iOS on this place. Please try and look at things from a neutral point of view rather than your own little ivory tower where you look down on the other camp and dismiss any argument they may have.
Steve Jobs might not have been massively happy about one of his board members that worked for google disappearing off after google had just built android. Only 10 months after iOS debuted, android was on the market.
You can't sue someone unless you patent an idea. If the google notifications bar is copied by apple and google haven't patented it then its fair game.
All these companies are not dastardly organisations that are trying to kill each other, they all want to make money from what they have created. If someone can copy something you have done, you either haven't patented it properly or you missed something (or you sue them!).
I would wager that apple, google, samsung etc are all a little more clued up on this that anyone on this forum but I am sure that you are all very knowledgable and should really go and explain to the companies why they are having such issues.
Jobs said that copying and stealing is part of the industry. He didn't say that he didn't do it and he didn't say that he wouldn't do it. To me, he treated it all as a kind of game. If you can steal someones idea or copy it then go for it. You had better have done it well though otherwise the guy you copied will have your balls.
The stat that android has way more of the market share is completely irrelevant to the discussion as well. If I want a sub £400 phone I will have to get a second hand iphone or an android handset. Its like claiming a 10 year old fiesta is as good as a ferrari. Just because it has a larger potential market (massively, massively larger) doesn't mean that its the better product. In fact, what is amazing is that apple have 3 phones out covering the last 2 odd years and they are still anywhere near android.

Pah, you lot are shocking. We all know WM2003SE was the best device ever, and both Android and iOS stole from it.

Hate Steve Jobs. Such an anti-philanthropist and evil dictator. Foxconn, employees in America...etc...etc...

No, it's not. It's like claiming that Ford sell more cars than Toyota - both arguably equally good cars but Fords are more popular. There is no way that you can say that an iPhone is a Ferrari and an android phone is a 10 year old Fiesta...
Sorry, I wasn't trying to compare the quality of the phones to the cars, merely that the fiesta would cost under a grand which would open it to millions of people whereas a ferrari has a very small number of customers that can afford it.
I would love to see some statistics about different countries and their iOS vs android statistics.
Well it certainly is known why I do not like apple as a company and some of their followers.
I love android OS more than any other mobile OS so yeah I am technically a fan of android.
However I cba typing for like the 100th time why it is that I love android and why I hate apple a s a company and all the reasons that I have stated for that, pretty much everyone agrees with and are the reasons why they don't bother with apple either, of course the apple fans will dispute them all (which they have)
In fact I am having a hard time recalling where I have slagged apple products (not the company and how it works) off at all and if I have I have also said that the same about android as well e.g. siri and voice crap on both OS, and I have stated where apple is still better than android.
Surely if I was a "proper fanboy" I wouldn't even state that apple could do anything better, would I?
