I think Samsung should patent the design for phones with bigger screens. I mean if Apple can get a ban for them having rounded corners on the Tab, why not?

Apple is just running scared: and they should be - based on the replies I have seen in this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
The rotten Apple

Check this, it's a pretty good summary.
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
I just watched a YouTube vid on iOS 6......lmfao!! What a crock of **** lol landscape multitasking.....since multitasking and accelerometers became available....android has always had it lmao....they've put all their movies, apps, and music into one app (iStore) android has always done that! And I'm glad they're not using Google maps anymore....its too goto to be on that ****ty device! Lol
[Galaxy S III General] archtech3d:
Are you in the U.S. sitting with a pre order that might not come because of Apple? That's why I care. I'm in that boat along with many others. Hopefully it will turn out ok... really want Crapple to hang their head in shame.

IOS 6 is a joke and they know it. :D
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
Well said mate! :)
[Galaxy S III General] sjdean:
Apple just seem to file vague patents, let others invent the technology, copy them, then sue the original.

Fair enough if Apple want to patent their particular search engine, or algorithm for searching. Fair enough if they want to patent their particular speech to text recognition system. Fair enough if they want to patent the actual design - though as I say, some designs are just so logical, they shouldn't be patented - eg a telephone keypad, or a centred button at the bottom of the window with a microphone indicating voice. That's so simple and non-descript.

Voice commands have been part of phones for a long time (read Vlingo - Samsung may have done something smart there in utilising Vlingo technology). Data Tapping has been around for ages too.

Apple just don't like Android.

I wish I could be like Apple to file vague non-descript patents on a concept. I could have been rich! 20 years ago I had an idea about displaying real time notice boards of bus arrival information. Ten years later, they invented it! I could have sued even though i had no idea in practice of any specifics of the technology that could be used, the cost, the manufacturing, or design principles.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
So today Samsungs lists the differences in the data tapping operation between the HNex and GS3, then will produce the source code for the features on Thursday. Within 3 days of that both sides will meet up again and decide what the next step will be? That puts the date at the 18th.....I hope Samsung has made the necessary changes and can pull this off.
[Galaxy S III General] Artimus009:
Even if they can't, AT&T should be shipping on the 18th...just in time for us to get it.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Maybe a good thing for those of you just upgrading your existing phone, but if Sammy cant show convincing proof then those like me will be effected. I am going to be giving my phone to my daughter, adding another line to our family plan so im gonna need a new sim. *Crosses fingers* C'mon Sammy, dont fail me now!
[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
Any word on what happened in the court room today?
[Galaxy S III General] robotohshs:
i guess this means we wont get our device delayed before launch! :)

[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
you sir...just made my entire day =)
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
This is quite the surprise ruling....hopefully no more surprises come up......at least none that favor that fruit company.
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
Not really. Basically the judge said this is only one case on her calender and they get nothing special
[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
Ya so that basically translates to there will be another court case but it will be well after the phone is released so everyone can get their hands on a copy right?
[Galaxy S III General] CapsLockKey:
As long as I get my phone next week, I'm happy.
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
pretty much
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
It doesnt keep them from pushing an update later, but by then we should have custom roms.
[Galaxy S III General] g2uzer:
Made my entire week, lol :-)
[Galaxy S III General] sonarchist:
I imagine the devices are being parceled + readied for delivery asap (by the millions)..........apple's attempt to piggy-back the sgs3 onto prior litigation did not make a favorable impression on Judge Koh, good thing too :) ........*takes deep breath*........... nine days to launch, seems like forever!
[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
Now my life will be complete if there was some news where Verizon magically decides to have this phone out by the 21st like everyone else
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
So what exactly are you disagreeing with? I think after last weeks hearing most of us were thinking Samsung was on the hotseat here and had to come up with clear difference between how the GS3 implements a few features and how the Galaxy Nexus does and that we'd find out within 3 days of the Thursday hearing if Apple would be granted the delay they're seeking. This ruling pretty much says no matter what Apple does at this point, even if that includes requesting a new hearing, it most likely won't be able to make anything happen before the launch date. Were you sure of that before this news?
[Galaxy S III General] Phrodini:
Apple wants to act like a spoiled brat... Anyone could play that game too
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
Its very clear after all this time they have failed to do anything innovative and are a sinking ship unless they pull something out of their hat. The thing that pisses me off is i continually see people who are well off enough and smart enough to own any device they like, and they take the easy ***** way out and undersell themselves with the easy-mode iphone. Thats what sells them. They are super easy and functional and to most people any of these huge droids would put them in a super geeky social group. There is a social stigma that comes with holding a super huge device without an apple on it.
[Galaxy S III General] theraffman:
The funny thing is that most functions are more complex or take more steps. its merely consumer perception that believes iPhones are easier... They may be simpler, but that doesn't always equate to easier.

One thing apple dominates however is marketing... Its probably the only thing they are better than Android at... Finally Android manufactures are starting to get the word out, namely Samsung. That's been my one huge gripe about Android and associates, until recently they have been bringing a fork to a firefight in terms of marketing... That will change.
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
Before the release date are the important words. She didn't in any way imply that Samsung didn't do anything wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Did I imply otherwise? I think 99% of us dont really care what happens after the release date, we just were concerned with getting the phone without a delay in the launch.
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
Yes. The part where you called this a rolling.
[Galaxy S III General] jithendra194:
If apple ever comes up with the widget stuff saying it's their "NEW" so called innovation like they are doing now ...Google should sue them for that....apple = crapple
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Not sure what that means, but if "a rolling" means a victory I'd say it certainly is since the goal of Apple wasnt to obtain a judgement immediately about their guilt or innocence, rather to stop the launch of the device in the US, which is very improbable after yesterdays news. Matter of fact, an Apple rep even said this is a victory for Samsung in the article posted so find something else to argue about;)
[Galaxy S III General] g2uzer:
http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/article...-apple-cant-stop-the-galaxy-s-iii-launch-r865

A little bit more understandable version (imo) :-D
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
ruling** since you couldn't figure that one out for yourself
[Galaxy S III General] Vibrant03:
Tough luck. For some reason they're not going at each other.. Google as far as I know already filed a patent for the notification pull down, but Google isn't doing anything... Probably because they already have oracle to deal with right now..
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Ah, so in all your wisdom you are contending that the directive/order Judge Koh made not allowing Apple to add the GS3 to the case along with the GNex is not a ruling? Keep telling yourself that ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Uncle Hungry:
I find this to be completely false. The iPhone in just about every category seems to just work better. It's more intuitive for the most part and the functions are certainly not more complex, lol. When Android and iPhone perform the same functions, iPhone just seems to perform them better with a more polished experience. Android is nice, and I switch back and forth between the two since the beginning and am currently waiting on an s3.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Lol at this nonsense. Apple had a widget type accessory waaaay before google and the credit for actual widgets would go to Microsoft. Stop being such a fanboy.
[Galaxy S III General] nicholaaaas:
from the article: "Koh had said Apple's push to get a court order blocking the June 21 launch would overload her calendar, given Apple's high-stakes trial over other Samsung devices set for July that she is overseeing... while Koh's directive had nothing to do with the merits of the Samsung case about to go to trial, or the legal arguments for an injunction on the new Samsung smartphone.

so yeah, not so much a ruling as a scheduling as I already said.

[Galaxy S III General] kulzboy:
I second that. Also, samsung's way of adding widget on galaxy s II looks exactly like Mac (a list of icons in the bottom, can be scrolled from left to right, the screen is dragged up to show the icons of the widgets)
[Galaxy S III General] djkinetic:
In b4 Apple sues for copyright on Dashboard (the system they used on OS X for widgets)
[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
hey lets stop with the fighting and just learn to love!!! we are all getting our phones the time its suppose to be released we should be happy!
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
I feel the need to remind people to stay on topic and avoid flaming each other, debate is fine, flat out name calling and other forms of flaming are not acceptable.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
There's six videos of examples that disagree with you. (Also, since this is kinda off-topic, perhaps you should continue the discussion there.)
[Galaxy S III General] theraffman:
I was waiting to get home to post those up, but agreed, this is off topic and I apologize for perpetuating it.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Apple is scared cause many things like this will happen once the S3 gets released in the U.S

http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/13/3082261/29-days-with-android
[Galaxy S III General] blackguy101:
Adding to this I just think everyone here is happy that the phone will be released on time. With that being said i highly doubt anyone cares what happens to the phone after they get their hands on it
[Galaxy S III General] Uncle Hungry:
I only watched the first video, and although I agree about the back button, it's subjective nonsense. Thanks for continuing in my off topicness by replying to me though.
[Galaxy S III General] jayharper08:
Thread cleaned again and infractions handed out. There will be more with vacations if it continues.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
My point exactly! I care as much as I don't want Apple to be able to hinder Android's growth by way of locking down soooo many patents that it can't evolve, but once I get my GS3 in my hand I certainly won't be watching the developments as closely as I had been this past week.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
Number of steps taken to share data is "subjective nonsense".

Okay then! :)
[Galaxy S III General] sha4000:

[Galaxy S III General] As2O:
haha this is never gonna happen

i phones always look the same and they lock their consumers into paying for everything with there closed source whilst android always has better upgrades and everything is open source :)

android ftw!
[Galaxy S III General] x_SCOS_x_ELITE:
Apple execs must be feel the need to sue everyone and their mothers to fell as though they have power. It seems they are trying to compensate for something if you know what I mean wink wink ;)
[Galaxy S III General] clockcycle:
Someone should tell HAL 9000, Apple has the patent for voice actions.

The thing is it's a patent war, they may have not invented it, but they bought the company or person that did, just to use it against anyone they feel like might be a threat..

Seriously, slide to unlock, battery notification. Macintosh Apples shoulda sued Apple hard...
[Galaxy S III General] sjdean:
I swear, Im not going to own a phone after my current one blows up. Apple suck big time. I mean, I seem to recall Data Tapping from my days of the Nokia N97. Data Tapping, providing shortcuts and workarounds, is a natural form of progression in any GUI.

Skype on your PC can routinely detect phone numbers.

How on Earth are Apple managing to patent so much? They're basically saying, every single piece of functionality, design, idea, future thought, concept or dream, is ours. We own it. You can't do it.

I see stuff about patents for "universal remote control". Thing is, I just thought the other day, without even seeing Apple, how cool it would be, to program my phone with remote control codes if it could detect them on the camera lens, fit the phone with an IR transmitter, and use that to control all my devices!!!!

Oh, Apple have patented it.

Apple are actually destroying IT.
[Galaxy S III General] hayabusa1300cc:
Wtf I had this function on my Sanyo flip phones. I hate Apple more and more each day.

And also, they are suing HTC again for the same thing, again!!

Well, these two patents are software-related and are easy to correct but banning on data tapping is just immoral and implausible. Typical consumers (especially Americans) would ask "what's Apple suing?". they could careless about this to boycott Apple products. Take my family for example, they thought that Apple is the good guys in this situation.
[Galaxy S III General] bbtiger:
I don't know if it's the sign that Apple is scared of something as good as the Galaxy S3... I went to the store today to pre-order mine, while there, three others in the store also ordered the GS3 as well.. One lady was even offered the Iphone 4S and she TURNED it down:eek:. Cupertino probably underestimate how attractive the GS3 is;). They're awaken by this GS3 train...and they probably are scared. Saw earlier that GS3 sale is TOP in London;)
[Galaxy S III General] sjdean:
Yes, a long press is like a right click on a mouse. Shortcuts. What shortcuts can you put on there. I don't even own an iPhone, but even I could hazard a guess from my web browser, Open, Open in New Window, Send to Someone Else, Copy...

Phone Numbers ... Add to Contacts, Copy Number, Search for Number, Look up number (yes, you could look up Area Codes and actual locality of number, that'd be a swell patent), Share again, and Dial. It's a flaming shortcut.

Are Apple seriously suggesting that two people working independently cannot possibly come to the same conclusion?

And what's more, what's wrong with these daft companies like HTC defending themselves instead of attacking the patent and showing that the technology was there BEFORE the patent?

[Galaxy S III General] Jirv311:
Financially, I don't think Samsung would stop building hardware for Apple as it would probably take a pretty good hit due to the shear volume they probably produce for Apple.

I still however, think that Apple is a disgusting company and I am going to have put duct tape over the Apple logos on my MacPro and MacBook Pro. :D

I won't ever by **** from Sony because of their love of using extreme DRM protection techniques and for creating proprietary products that cost twice or more than standard products, ie memory stick products..

Apple is just as evil keeping the first versions of the iphone away from Verizon customers for years and for keeping it closed to accessories like batteries and memory cards.. Don't even get me started with what I think of itunes..

[Galaxy S III General] emk2z:
Well to be honest I find s-voice s-tupid, I kinda get the feeling that Samsung IS copying everything that apple makes.

Its like they believe everyone will get their products if they do everything apple does very similarly with better hardware etc.

Please don't flame me cause I'm no apple fan boy, in fact I will never get an Iphone. Because they treat users like brainless drones who has to do everything as they planned beforehand.

But Sumsung is on the wrong here, why make an "S voice" while you already have "Voice talk", Ok you decided to make a new product but why make it look like Siri.

User interface is another offender, They make fine products and android has its own nice ui, then why customize it to make it look like simpleton iphone ui.

IMO Samsung doesn't think ahead. Why act like a crappy Chinese company, which sells imitation Chi-phones. Think big Samsung if I ever wanted an iphone I could have bought one for the same price bah!!.
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
I have to agree on S-voice looking like siri but touchwiz is so much better than stock Android. It provides so much additional functionality compared to stock. With all the features in touchwiz I think I will miss them a lot if I flash cm9 or aosp roms. Also samsung has toned down a lot on the new touchwiz making it look more clean compared to previous versions.
[Galaxy S III General] Jirv311:
S-Voice is all about staying in the competition. In the Android world, they have voice commands pretty well locked down now (as gimmicky as I think it is as is Siri). Do I think they could have worked a little harder at making it look different than Siri? Yes. However, it still needs to look good and be functional. I think Apple did a pretty good job there and Samsung isn't totally wrong in their design on that. It would be like Michelin getting sued by Firestone because their tires are black and round. They have a different tread design but the tires still look the same otherwise.
[Galaxy S III General] emk2z:
OMG OMG we hit the mother lode!!!!

Do u think it is still possible to patent "black round rubber inflate-able transportation device" :D we'll be RICH...

Ok back to track...

Samsung came up with V-talk before apple so they could improve it and make it better than siri. Only copying will get you on equal ground. But Samsung had a head start, they should have aimed top. Also rather than investing on s voice imagine they made a product like instagram (before instagram that is).

And apple they are so beyond redemption I can't even comment, They hate and try to kill competition. It will be their downfall.
[Galaxy S III General] Aridon:
There won't be a delay because if there is going to be one the software will be disabled and life will go on.
[Galaxy S III General] brendonwardmusic:
Might be mistaken, but apple didn't even create siri they bought it off a developer from the app store.
[Galaxy S III General] beast3300:
yes
[Galaxy S III General] specd_out:
Thats a possibility. S3 users in the uk need to get on with copying files so that if Samsung decides to disable it, it will be available to rooted devices.
