Actually as much as I like Apple I don't think that this would have been a good idea since Samsung supplies parts for the Apple iPad and iPhone particularly their chipsets. Samsung could kill off their contract so the iPhone/iPad would get to the drawing board.

Unfortunately the iOS is getting to be a tad bit old although it is extremely stable and very nice (I use the iPhone 4 mostly). But Android is the winner with its customization and hackability options.

I honestly can't believe Apple is "scared" (if that is the case), I mean really? They are APPLE for god sakes. Thousands of people will buy the iPhone 5 on day one and they know it. I guess as a business you don't want to lose millions of potential customers (which I guess Apple is assuming the Galaxy S2 will do)... so this makes sense.

However this can't truly be about "looks" because there are dozens of phones that look similar to the iPhone and I assume that Apple realizes that TouchWiz only copies the iPhone homescreen in the app drawer.. so, is this just a case of Apple being afraid? Or did the big button on the Galaxy S II you press to go home like the iPhone push Apple over the edge? Lolz~
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SuperSport:
Apple has a habit of claiming they were FIRST with everything, then suing everyone who has something similar.

Windows Mobile had Video Chat LONG before Apple. Actually, before the First iPhone ever came out. Now, it's their idea. Windows Mobile had Touch Screens LONG before Apple. Windows Mobile used Icons LONG before Apple.

They are just a bit whiny when it comes to competition. I think they are afraid that people will realize they are not All Mighty God. Just my 2 cents. Ok, 25 cents, but hey. ;)

I'll bet the recent speculation about WP OS has Apple a bit nervous. Their stocks even took a SLIGHT dive on the heels of the news. Also, notice all the APPs that JUST dropped on the marketplace from major companies? I believe those companies were waiting for news like this before investing in the WP OS. Now, it's ON! Now that WP OS is being taken seriously as a major player, they will start to grow in leaps and bounds. It's all about getting the news to slant in your direction, which Microsoft is slowly doing. News can Make or Break you.

OH, and the more than 1.3 BILLION people that Currently connect to one another with a Nokia device? That surely cannot hurt Microsoft any... :D Kinda TRUMPS Apple... Even if Microsoft only got onto 1/2 of those devices in the future.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jayfunk:
point well taken dude! :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Nerothank:
Well, I've never been a friend of Apple but I at least accepted them as a good brand.

However, at the moment my only impression is: Apple is going crazy!

I

really

hope they will lose the "fight". Perhaps then they will realise that suing everyone isn't a solution...

(But if the charge is true Apple should win of course!)

so far
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jayfunk:
Well I guess they should win so that Samsung would change that stupid Touchwiz!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gwingzero:
This is just amazing. I just love how Apple think it iOwns everything phone related now. Message to Stevie, get off your freaking high horse and CHANGE YOUR PRODUCT!!!! The average person CANNOT tell the difference between the original iPhone and the iPhone 4 if they look at it without actually examining it. Don't get upset cuz some other company is actually competing with you. And if memory serves, didn't MS make smartphones well before Apple was even producing iPods?

Samsung's phones are no way similar to iPhones....i mean you can hold a Sammy anyway you want and you won't drop bars.... iPhone..um yeah....

The guy who made the first car should sue the chit out of every automaker out there....i mean seriously, wheels, engine, interior....come on now you can copy my ideas!!! Make your car with 5 wheel's a joystick and hamster running in a wheel then it'd be different.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AllGamer:
LMAO! that's the funniest thing i've ever read.

it's true, that is a very good analogy with the Car example :D

and you can count me in about not knowing a Gen 2,3 iphone vs Gen 4 iphone... they all look the same to me :p

the only way i can tell if i can actually hold it and go into system settings to see the iOS version
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SuperSport:
To me, I can easily tell the difference between v4 and the rest, that is until you look at the OS. It's nearly identical. v1-3 appear to be very similar from the outside though. Unless you know what to look for.

Although, I'm sure WP OS will become similar in that respect. They will likely offer their v7.5 and v8 updates to the original WPs. I would suspect v9 will surpass the hardware abilities of the first WPs though. At least I'd like to think so.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sumedh_vsk:
apple has nothing else to do than sue others....jealous of other's success i guess...

i really hope someone takes a massive bite of that apple for real......
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NightHawk877:
Apple just sucks. They need to stop suing over the most frivolous things. Phones can have similar designs, but look completely different. Apple get that through your tiny ignorant CEO and stop claiming you own everything. It drives people nuts and it stifles competition. That's right you HATE competition. If you hate it so much, then force LG to stop making smartphones that compete with the iPhone so they can provide you with the screen, and force Samsung to quit the MP3 player and smartphone industry so they can make the processor. You can't do that. Get your carcass out of the gutter and stop suing because of similarities to iOS.

END RANT
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] steamtechie:
There are lots and lots of touchscreen products on the market nowadays there are bound to be similarities. I mean, what is there to elaborate on regarding a phone's overall design? You have a rectangular-shaped housing which has to accommodate (apart from all the internal parts) a screen, and some buttons on the face and on the side. How many different variations can someone make with these?

Just a side note, there is a reason for major companies to emphasize on the rectangular (block) form. It can be seen with Nokia's sad experience back when they experienced with oval ('7600' would be the worst result).

As for Touch Wiz - yes, it does painfully resemble iOS' UI, and I don't pretty much care for it because of that. IMO Samsung should just change it, but not because Apple is on a suing rampage again, but rather for their own interest in creating something that feels more unique.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Boyyoka:
Apple tries to demonstrate that they invented one of the following concepts:

Clicking on an icon to open an app;

Touchscreen;

Icons;

Alignment in a square array;

Swipe motion to change screens;

------------------------------------------------------------

Are they on crack?

When will Apple learn? Instead of trying to entangle other companies for their own succes, try improving your own product to gain more succes yourself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lufkintravis:
I don't care for Samsung products, and I really don't care for Apple devices, but Samsung should counter-sue Apple. Samsung Eternity vs. Apple iPhone 4. The Eternity used to be a great looking phone and I loved it, but didn't like Samsung products, so imagine my surprise when I saw all the news of the leaked iPhone 4...

I guess your a bit too late in the news, They did it...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lufkintravis:
ah, my bad...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] a dead man:
It may be prior art, but the question is, is it published prior art? unless someone can positively show that the video was available for public viewing, or indeed that a photo or drawing of the tablet itself was published in the public domain prior to Apples application for a design, then it is just a curiosity.

it is important that the publication date MUST be verifiable

but I agree, there is at least a close similarity, it could leave the status of Apples design registrations under question if the pub date could be discovered, if at all
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nellyspageli:
i'm a big android guy. i've never owned an iphone, but i think you guys are wrong here.

i think many of you are making false assumptions about the lawsuit so I think you should read a detailed analysis before making any claims. I personally recommend this one.

Aside from the patent infringement, Apple is suing Samsung for trade dress infringement. I really don't see how you can possibly claim that Samsung is not copying Apple's trade dress. Every single part of TouchWiz is a modification to Android to make it look and feel more like iOS. Everything from the bouncing scroll effect, to the color and shape of the icons is meant to confuse customers. Just look at this picture:

" There’s no question in my mind that Samsung designed TouchWiz to look and feel as much like iOS as possible, and then marketed it as such. (More than one of my friends has come back from a Verizon store with a Fascinate having been told that it’s “basically the same as an iPhone.”)" -- Nilay Patel
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zepp3lin:
Whatever it is, the main OS is different, just like Windows, Lix and Mac. All of them basically uses the same UI. Apple name & logo copy from the fruit apple, so apple got no case. Now apple must worry is the copyright patent infringements case from Samsung. Samsung can deny the technology to apple and Apple iPhone will remain 3g forever..... Who's the loser now?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Because the bouncing scroll effect is OWNED BY APPLE.

/s
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AllGamer:
LOL :p

can you imagine if back then Microsoft lost to Apple on the OS UI patent?

we'll all be stuck in DOS command line forever, and we'll all be stuck on ANSII art :D

WinXP will have looken like this LMAO!

[Desire General] rumbo575:
Been checking out the latest phones and all the new ones appear to have the SLCD screens and not AMOLED because of a shortage of AMOLED screens....

I'd love to change but am i going to get anything better,ie,AMOLED ,screen and physical buttons on the bottom,which i think is a good design.

Like the look of the new Galaxy S 2 but i'm not sure about customisation and different rom potential in relation to the desire....Can you get a clockwork mod recovery image on say the galaxy or nexus s???

Feedback is much appreciated:)
[Desire General] Meaple:
Go look at the forums

Sent from CM7
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
I don't think you should be too concerned about the screen technology, as slcd is quite good actually and in my opinion definitely comparable to the amoled on our desire. And if you want super amoled you can always pick a samsung phone.

And yes clockworkmod has been portet to most devices, and it probably will be for future devices as well as soon as new devices get rooted so it can be installed. If rootability is a concern to you I would choose a nexus phone, but unrevoked have made a list of devices based on how root friendly they are:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/root_friendly

If you want my personal opinion I think you should wait. The desire is still a great device, and it will get gingerbread officially. We will probably be able to run ice cream as well when it is released, so I'm definitely not getting a new one for another year, because with the current development a new one will be outdated as well soon and you don't really need the dualcore processor.

Hi!

I find the default sms app a bit lacking in features, it's not very nice/pretty and it's slow. I've tried handcent and go sms pro, and they're OK but I feel they're also a bit slow and sluggish. So what do you guys use?

And hm, the dialer, why oh why can't they implement it like for example the HTC Sense one, where you can dial the "letters" of a contact with the dial-pad and it'll find it? Like 2 = abc, 3 = def, etc... Anyone know a better one for SE?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Handcent was always really quick for me until recently.. about a month ago maybe? (was using it for ages on my X10..) Would like to know if anyone can suggest an alternative to that..

I used superdial for a while, but it's not being supported now as they're doing a complete re-write.. however, dialer one looks pretty good.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Mano1982:
I am using Handcent SMS although it seems slow & sluggish now, was quick on X10i. I have tried Go SMS Pro also, but Go SMS is way too slow & sluggish on ARC :( So i have to live with Handcent... As i am a SMS-person, i need a fast SMS app :( I will try Chomp SMS within days...

I use stick dialer :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arcanixX:
For Calls, I recommend Dialer One. It has Speed dial (type numbers for letters), and it's customizable. For SMS, i'm still with the default one.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Harboe:
For dialing I'm using TouchPal Smart Dialer:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cootek.smartdialer

For sms I'm using Handcent SMS: ( not sluggish at all for me )

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] omaritta:
for sms ... go sms pro ... but i didnt use the handcent to compare so ill try it and tell ya

for dail . default becuz i feel the other is complicated .. but im gona try again hehe

ARC of NOAh :p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Mano1982:
I have purchaised donate version of Chomp SMS today.. Using it & it is quciker & faster than handcent & Go sms pro so far, but need more testing :p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
Touchpal dialer and go sms pro. Both do the job good for me.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chupachup:
i used to use dialerone but have recently switched to youlu which loads much faster. the latest version is integrated with sms. i prefer to use a separate sms app (go sms pro by the way) so i downloaded v1.5 from the internet which was the latest version before the sms function was added.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] rrtowner:
I am using RocketDial Pro - cool dialer!!

I have tried pair GO SMS + GO Contacts, but it had not good localization, & after RocketDial found i`ve delete them & now use standart app for SMS.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
I've always been a massive fan of handcent SMS, havent gotten around to installing it on my arc yet, but if it's really laggy i might give one of the others a go.

Was happily using diallerone on my previous phone. However there was a recent update of the app and it suddenly started to request *far* too many permissions from the phone for a simple dialler app, so i wont be installing it on my arc. :mad:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Harboe:
I have no lag at all with Handcent, so I'd suggest you try it if you use to use it. It can always be uninstalled if it's bad for you. ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ashman84:
I was really liking the stock sms app. Even liked it on my x10. But i just realized that the arc's messaging app doesn't have the search function.

I used to use it all the time. Anyone got any other suggestions. I want it to be just like the arcs standard app but with search.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
power search is great.. and you'll be able to search calendar and pretty much anything else!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] baste07:
i use the GO products from the DEV Team,

i like go sms pro, and also uss go contacts and go dialer,

i was using go launcher ex on my HTC desire before, but right now i stayed with the SE ARC's normal home launcher
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] SamarthJain:
I use Go Dialer and handsent for sms,,

Never sluggish for me,,,,,,
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dampir:
Go SMS is definitely much better than the stock app
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Step666:
Are any of the various SMS apps mentioned here better suited to landscape usage?

The stock one is ok but when viewing previous messages the bar along the top of the screen with the contact information in it takes up a lot of room - the picture etc could easily be shifted to one side instead.

And when composing a message, the send button is hidden behind the keyboard, with the pointless 'add media' button above it.

If anyone knows of a messaging app that addresses both of these issues, I'd be interested to hear.

I will be trying Chomp, Go SMS and Handcent soon anyway but I'd still appreciate the feedback.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gdog732:
I use chomp SMS and dialer2. Chomp is similar to iPhone with the conversation bubbles, it comes with several themes or you can create your own...its very customizable. I highly recomend chomp. Dialer2 is ok. It is all black with white text and numbers. It doesn't have many features but it can search your contacts using the t9 number pad like sense.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] redesignni:
Is there a way of disabling the default notification when using another sms app? when I installed both Go and Handcent I get two notifications for each sms.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
Just discovered dialler2. Nice fast little app, T9 dialing works a treat (still cant quite get my head around why SE didnt include T9 in the stock app...)

Also just discovered that it shows your recent calls list as a default before you hit any keys, which is a nice bonus.
