Yeah, I am inclined to believe that about Jobs. I think of Jobs as an opportunist...in the scavenger way. Without Steve Wozniak, Jobs wouldn't be where he is. It was the Woz that made Apple shine. He was the whole creative force behind Apple in those early years. Jobs wasn't the brainchild of the iPod or the iPhone. Jobs never thought the original iPod would ever take off when it was presented to him...he didn't believe in it.

But this business with the antenna issue smacks of pure B.S. to me. That's just how I see it from my own personal experiences.

I think if they want the antennas exposed then they need to make it where it does not come in contact with the user. Maybe put some kind of coating on antenna strips so when you hold the phone your hands are not in direct contact with the metal strip.

Samsung just needs to stop trying to make everything look like a Apple product. They are probably the only non Apple OEM who can consistently make thin, attractive products so why ruin it by making it look like a KIRF? Apple design is nice but mimicking something just leaves a cheap counterfeit feel to it. HTC makes some nice looking phones and tablets that don't look like Apple products, do the same Samsung and you'll do even better.

2 pretty big hardware giants, both have their + and -.

I like Apple because of their high quality build, Apple stuff rarely breaks. However you pay double price for less. Everything made by Apple is insanely overpriced.

Not to mention the great, but limited in everything iOS.

That's why I choose Samsung - cheaper, but build quality is extremely good. Samsung phones come with Android, which is also a +.

In case you guys (any girls here? :p) don't know yet, the injunction was upheld in Germany. The whole thing stinks though, the judge didn't even look at actual devices, he just went off the sketches of the "community design". You know the sketches that look like *everything*. Also, apparently screwing with the evidence, a major crime otherwise, is nothing if you're Apple.

Doesn't even matter though, German retailers can continue to sell and restock Samsung devices. They just need to get them from somewhere other than Samsung GmbH (the German Samsung branch). To that I can only say LOL. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/09/us-apple-samsung-idUSTRE78828820110909 <- and another LOL how they call Florian Müller a "patent expert".

Will any of this actually matter? Samsung is pioneering development of graphene based devices (First one scheduled for release next year) which will become the new standard. Tough flexable electronics, meanwhile apple will be stuck in the "ipod" age, as hopefully Samusing wont be silly enough to let them use their patents or parts again. Thus lies the problem with Apple. They pretend to innovate while other companies actually do innovate. and this time they might just have painted(ed...) themselves into a corner.

At least iPhones will allow you to send text messages without first disabling packet data when on UK networks. I've used about three or four different versions of Gingerbread now and they're all the same.

The point is, as much as I like Android it can be buggier/slower compared to other devices where the hardware/software integration isn't as solid, which is most of them. Basically iPhone vs Android = new Mac vs PC.

I do enjoy my PCs, Samsung Galaxy Ace and Samsung LCD HDTV, but if I had the money I'd throw them all in a skip and replace them with Apple stuff. Why? Because 95% of the time everything just works, not like all my PC-style tech which is a constant headache of updates and living with minor bugs which eventually drive you crazy.

How about a different interpretation: Samsung is doing good enough that it's no problem for them to play a little game of "eff you Apple".
[Off-topic] zekepliskin:
Indeed. I almost applaud their brashness for doing this. Apple know they can't push too hard because they source a fair amount of parts from Samsung, and it would be all too easy for Samsung to find some excuse for jacking up the prices, meaning Apple devices cost even more eventually.

It's hypothetical, but it could easily happen. And of course, the bigger the price gap the more people will "settle" for an Android device, find out they're perfectly happy with that and don't need all the perks of iOS after all.

[Off-topic] Gusar321:
You know, it's really funny how you said above "This is pretty bad when a company has to basically give away their product to get customers away from the competition", relating to Samsung. I'm going to now turn this around on Apple and say this: It must be pretty bad for Apple when they have to use courts instead of the merit of their own product to get customers away from the competition.

And no one give me the "stealing" line please. The number of patents in the case is constantly diminishing. There can't be a clearer indication that most of these patents are bogus. The two patents that remain might have some actual substance, but they're still in no way some big inventions that warrant a sales ban.

And it's even funnier when one of the patents is about the manufacturing technique of the iPad's screen. It's funny because Apple doesn't manufacture their devices. And yet they hold a patent on manufacturing. lol.
