At no point did I say they did, though plenty do. But having something locked in a cupboard, that you only share with the world 5 years later, is no proof they didn't. That's my point.
Got a tip for us?

The point is that Apple's patents are frivolous and the statement that Steve Jobs made that they invented multitouch and the first touch screen phone is a LIE.
Is it really difficult to admit that for you guys? Is it really to admit that the patents are undeserved? Is it so hard to admit that apple clearly skews the facts? Is it really necessary to obsess over glorifying a brand over this?
Samsung was trying to prove that Apple stole the iPhone design from others.
Samsung was not trying to disprove that they (Samsung) didn't steal the design from Apple.
So Apple should not defend patents they received?

But you asked me, "And that counts for what exactly?".
I simply told you what that counts for.
Patents are one thing, it deals with the law. It's boring. This is not a discussion about patents, and slide to unlock wasn't a generic multitouch patent either, but quite specific to that feature. Samsung is an OEM that uses the Android OS, in a lame attempt to stand out they are adding their own vendor bloat on top of Android that isn't particular innovative or original.
Hilarious to see apple fanboys butthurt over this seeing how Apple's been doing this same thing for YEARS against microsoft and the whole PC industry.
I guess everyone forgot about the 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads, huh?
This series of ads is much better than previous ones where Samsung made fun of end users. They're making fun of Apple and Apple's product, which is the way to do it. Not sure what impact this would have on customers, though. Apple's "Get a Mac" ads generated genuine consumer interest in Mac products. The verdict is still out whether these ads would do the same for Samsung.
Unjustly and only in the USA. That should tell you that the whole case is bull***t. Everywhere else outside of USA and apples being thrown out of the courtroom.
Except it doesnt! It proves absolutely nothing. Like I said I had one in my bedroom so LG must have copied me then?
Does this means Coke is better than Pepsi!!! Ohh no my world is destroyed!!! ;-)
Could someone please tell me what everything below NFC on this list is and why I should care about them?
Yea but news gets to the uk no? I am in the uk you know and got it through the ebst Ipad app Flipboard under technology tab
Just saying that this sort of competition between rivals is justifiable in the states. Even if it goes world wide, people know that.
Love the small print at the bottom:
ABOVE LISTED FEATURES ARE REPRESENTATIVE, NOT ALL INCLUSIVE.
So, those features are representative of what? iOS features? And of course, not all of them are included I guess... ;-)

I think it's Samsung's version of doing this:
Notes, Calendar, Phone, Mail, Safari, Settings, Alarm Clock, Photos, Camera.
This is what the common consumer will think as well. Except for previous Samsung users, all of those features are meaningless. Bad call on Samsung's part if you ask me.
