Samsung vs. Apple

Wow...Apple is really powerful! Apple took out Sammy in Australia. If Sammy wants to sell the Galaxy Tab 2 in AUS, they have to submit it to Apple for approval.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/01/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-sales-halted-in-australia-by-apple-suit/

-me like Android, in many ways,!! ..<

Original article:
http://www.businessweek.com/news/20...amsung-tablet-sales-in-australia-on-hold.html
Basically they've agreed not to sell or advertise it without giving 3 to Apple 7 days before they release it for sale in Oz.
So they can sell it as long as they comply with that agreement.
They save on advertising, drum up more interest, and are still able to release it on the planned date.
To recap:
Samsung are able to release it as planned but agreed not to advertise it before release date.
Three lucky apple employees get to play with the new tablet 7 days before everyone else.

Apple has some big stones. theyre probably going to look at why android has bigger market share and then copy it.

I know a couple of news papers that could do with your out-of-context, misrepresented, reporting of an Engadget story
Xaccers gives a much more accurate account.
The other thing not mentioned is that if Apple loose the case against Samsung then Apple have to pay damages to Samsung. Its basically a "gentlemens agreement" by the looks of it - and as said, Samsung get free advertising!

samsung all the way

android rocks

Looks like Sammy isn't bothered by Apple's concerns. Sammy intends to sell a different, non-violating, version of the Galaxy Tab in AUS from the restricted US version.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/02/samsung-will-release-galaxy-tab-10-1-in-australia-despite-apple/

So engadget not only don't bother to read the sourse article properly, but they also don't bother to read their own articles!
Both earlier artiles mention that Samsung planned to sell the Asia version not the US version in Oz.
And people thought News of the World journalists were unprofessional...

Whoa! Sammy is getting really, really bold. Sounds like they might get themselves in the sights of George Lucas if they continue with that attitude...lol

what the **** apple?
know what, watch this video, and you will see apple is giant hypocrites
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq-e0getf4M
apple took features that have been on android since the freakin' g1

My 2 cents on Apple (the first "real" computer I programmed on was an Apple II in Assembly and Basic....). So much for my age...
- Great design - both industrial and interface-wise
- fabulous marketing and advertising - they could spin a leaky radioactive battery into a great new feature....got to hand it to them
- It just works
- Piss poor attitude and positioning (my way or the court)
- You want what? "User freedom" Llllloooooolllllll....User freedom means WE KNOW BEST, righty?
- Innovation ? Yeah, we get to define what that means (like callling putting a camera on a phone an "innovation" in 2010....)
Well, once you open up the gates by allowing software patents on stuff like "look and feel", you get what you asked for - and Apple "borrowed" quite a lot of *that* on the early macs from real old Xerox Parc work in the 60/70's....look up "Alan Kay", PARC, "Dan Ingalls", "Douglas Engelbart" and so on. So neither the look or the feel is really theirs.
****. I used the "A***" (hint: fruit from a tree which grows in orchards) word. May I get sued for unauthorized use of THAT?

I really had nothing against apple until they started all these lawsuits. Now I have decided that apple is everything that's wrong with america, and Steve Jobs might be the antichrist (yes, I know he stepped down as CEO but that just frees him up for other douchery).

ive never liked their "my way or the highway attitude"...this patent war is just plain out of hand.

Goal in life was to make Steve Jobs resign and I WON!

I am opposed to patent lawsuits due to it being a far too lax, broad, and generally bs system in the US as it concerns technology patents. But Apple deserves every lawsuit filed against. I have had something against Apple ever since they decided to make their company a cult of personality around Steve Jobs and Apple. They want to play holier than thou in court? Then they should put up with the other side rolling up their sleeves and fighting back.
Complaining about anticompetitiveness. PAH. They just forced Samsung to stop selling Galaxy Tabs entirely in Europe through bs patent fighting. Apple deserves every single case filed against it.

The video linked at the end of that article is truly a classic.. great artists steal eh? http://youtu.be/CW0DUg63lqU

Jobs: I will spend my last dying breath to destroy Android

Hi,
Everyone should know the lines from Steve Jobs below:
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,” Jobs said. “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”
Now, I expect there are a lot of talented graphic artists here in XDA who loves Android.
Could anyone create an image of our beloved Android robot, rolling on the floor laughing while pointing finger to the above quoted text?
We should create a competition for graphic artists to create such image as funny as possible!
Come on, show us your creativity!

Probably with simple caption like "Apple, you can keep dreaming" ...

I request that even though many people on here are android fanboys ( not a bad thing ) that they respect what Steve Jobs and apple did for the industry and remember that he died doing what he loved.

Whether or not you agree, his anger is justifiable in the sense that android's UI had large similarities to iOS. Icons, layout, etc. He is human and thus experiences emotions which may or may not blind or sway his judgment.

"android is a stolen product"
Really Jobs? As I remeber Mac Os' are nothin really more than linux computers with apple branding all over.

Don't you mean UNIX? And I don't think what his basis of staling is the same with your basis of stealing. His basis is that this OS was just an outright copy, a wannabe iOS (again due to the striking similarities at the time). Hence a "stolen product". And if I remember correctly, UNIX is open source no? How can you steal something open source? Moreover, if i remember correctly again, it is not entirely UNIX, it simply has codes which were allowed to be taken and were taken for use.

I would like to see how android stood in a full on legal assault.

Apple is more or less doing this through the manufacturers.

Too soon.... show some respect.

You will find it everywhere. There is a famous quote by Gates. He once told Jobs:
“Well, Steve, I think there’s more than one way of looking at it. I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.”

I think people are a little too sensitive about this. And while I understand what he was getting at, I do believe it was over the top. Instead of viewing this thread as a personal attack, just view it as him being remembered.

We should let everyone know what shame Apple is doing

This thing that Apple is suing every freaking mobile companies/manufactures with their (stolen) patents is really a shame. Look at this very last new of ITC banning the importation and selling of certain HTC phone in US. Whoever buys any new Apple products enable the company to become stronger and stronger, unfortunately not in a good way. Apple is trying so hard and at any cost to get rid of the mobile concurrence. This means hijacking the mobile marketing, which will eventually realize the company's dream to capitalize and control the entire mobile markering worldwide. If we are all a little bit clever, we should really open a campaign and let everyone know what the company plans really are, what they are doing, and work something together to stop this shame.
Please share this, have ur say and let everyone know what is going on, what they are really buying today and what consequence their purchase might cause.
Thanks

Thing is, we who do NOT endorse them through product purchase, already know better. Those who do, won't care about this just like they don't care to blow heaps of money out their a**es. So....

Yea thats true.. Although I am sure there's still someone who doesn't know it and would like to stay away from powering up a company that plans to capitalize and get in control of everything.
A clear message needs to be sent...

i really don't know what apple is trying to do, sueing all the world.. maybe next will be eve cause she bit an apple???
by the way, reading everything is good to know HTC, and maybe Google already have a solution for this patent infrigments, so the android user experience will always be better than iphonish one...

I see no reason for either panic or concern. First of all, look at the range of devices affected: v1.6 - v2.2 You can't even purchase new HTC device with Froyo or older OS. Second, HTC already responded that they do have a workaround in the pipeline that would diminish all claims Apple's suit made.
Take a step back and try to look at the bigger picture. Ask yourself, why is Apple suing Samsung, HTC, etc? My theory is very simple; Apple's runaway success ran out of steam and they losing ground to Android quicker then Apple engineers are able to put together a new product. Earlier today Andy Rubin bragged about 700,000 daily activations. Simply put, Apple is scared of competition. Nay, they are scared ****less. Since they can't compete by innovating they choose to fight by litigating.
If there is one thing I have agreed with Jobs on, was his musing that "market will sort everything out". It looks like market already did just that and the new is not good for Apple, hence the lawsuits.

I believe the other tech companies should stop copying Apple. They are the ones to be shamed, not Apple. If they hadn't copied Apple's products, Apple would not be suing. Blaming and hating Apple is like a criminal blaming and hating their victim for fighting back.

Obviously you don't know what ur talking about (take it as a polite way to call you troll).
What Apple has been doing ever since it joined the IT market back in 1985 is to steal other ideas and projects in a legal manner, then patent them and use them against any company/manufactures.
Btw Apple calls this "REINVENTING". Just like they reinvented the phone, reinvented the way to interact between apps, DLNA, the cloud, the pull down notification bar, and the list goes on on and on..
I think I said pretty much all..

Apple business model will fail not now but in the future. What apple is trying to do is to stall it in a way. They already knew sole proprietary will fail, they almost went under at the start..
Steve jobs started a vendetta againts the android os. This is common knowledge. He got mad that someone in his company said NO left and made a product just as good.
My thing is how and why would apple try to sue something that isnt even their os. Thats like microsoft suing apple for a double click to open a file. Or adobe suing java, its childish.
Or ford suing all car manufacturers for having a break pedal.
Noting was stolen, apple has its own OS and android has theirs.
In my opinion suing for how a devices behaves. Its stupid dumb and im surprised the judges havent said that.

Patents are the most rediculus things I have ever seen...
Patents should be used for something totally unique in innovation like design and stuff and not for something that is like a building block of every other phone too...
And buying someone else's patents is bull****...it shows that the company is not innovative and steal others ideas and just keeps on bragging that they have done all the innovations....
Talking about stealing...apple has also stolen other's stuff like the drop down notification bar, siri etc etc...but google and other companies never patent everything they innovate because they know that somethings are crusial for every phone and its very anti innovative to patent those things...
I wonder what will happen when the Patent Office starts accepting patents for things other than technology...then the whole world will start suing each other...and another world war will begin...
And look what Steve Jobs said in his biography that he can even go for a bio nuclear war to stop android....which shows how greedy he is that he can destroy the whole world just for something **** like iPhone...
And people want to move towards open source bacause its very innovative and free too...

Typical. People who hate Apple focus on one tiny little thing they do and ignore the mountain of violations the other companies have been doing against Apple for years.
And Apple owns Siri. They bought the technology from the creator of an Apple app and improved it and made it more perfect. That's what Apple does.

Suddenly it's not important anymore that Apple hasn't invented anything. And they're completely oblivious how what this does is point to the brokenness of the patent system, as opposed to pointing to the supposed brilliance of Apple.

I don't hate Apple, I just love the free market

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/apple-takes-cues-from-blackberry-android-and-wp7-with-ios-5/
Here is a nice article for everyone who thinks that all of Apple's ideas are original and should be protected by lawsuit. Very ironic that Apple can "borrow" without any of that pesky remorse or guilt that they want everyone else to feel for them.
Just to be clear, I don't hate Apple in any way and anyone who says one OS is better than another is a moron. People are different and want different things. I've even recommended that my mom get an iphone due to its simplicity, it fits her-not me. I like to do things manually and their OS 'feels' inexact to my exacting and logical nature. That means Apple and their Intuitive-Automatic products don't do anything for me.
As a Capitalist Pig, I want Apple to succeed, not to mention Windows 8. The more competition that exists, the better the product they will be forced to deliver to us. If only Apple existed, and some people actually live in that world, then we would only get what they give us and nothing more. That's communism.

Very nicely put.

What Apple does in some areas, forces other companies to raise their own standard in order to match it. And vice versa.
