Apple Judgment Rocks Samsung's Share Price

[zBuLe]

I am glad that Apple won. Apple found a way to revolutionize the phone market with its iPhone. and instead of being innovative. many have chosen to copy the iPhone. hope this decision encourages more innovation.

um wait... the android is innovative compared to the Iphone. Apple has a unified "App Store", and Androids can ignore it.

jail break you I-anything, and Apple voids your warranty on the device, and deletes you ITunes account, root your Android, and only in some models void your warranty on the device.

have instant access to my information on the go... PalmPilot did that before (although at risk of carpel tunnel of the thumbs)

its not so much that Apple revolutionized. its more that Apple shifted its draconian consumer control from the desktop/laptop/mp3 player to the phone. they didn't so much revolutionize as just take something that business people had been using for years, and "market" it to the general consumer. while maintaining their Child with ADHD off medication mentality where they can't stick with a product for more then a year to bring the price down to even reflect the actual cost to produce.

There is nothing factual in this post. Anyone can jailbreak your iPhone, Apple won't actively punish you. But in fan land, facts are a casualty. Does anyone actually REMEMBER 2007? There were Terabytes of articles and comments saying that the iPhone would fail because it didn't have a talk and hang up button/high price/one carrier and having a full touchscreen face was seen as a risky proposition. The Prada was announced after the iPhone, but came out before it. It was also not a smartphone. We know from discovery in the trial that iPhone development lasted the better part of 5 years and they went through countless prototypes.

the android is innovative, but it builds off the revolution that apple started. nobody wanted to make a full touchscreen face phone at the time, not even android. the iPhone was too risky of a design. no carrier wanted to sell it, which is why the exclusive ATT offer happened, they took little risk if it failed. smartphone where essentially for enterprise and enthusiasts at the time. Apple was able to successfully market a smartphone to consumers. no matter how strong their marketing arm is, the iPhone would not have this amount of success if the product wasn't good. and the app store also is a revolutionary concept too. before, either buying the disk from a store, or going to the website to download the software. any app store that existed before wasn't big enough. the app store concept took off after Apple opened theirs. but the point of this case isn't that Samsung cant copy, but need permission first. Apple offered Samsung to license its patent to Samsung. but they refused to license and used the patents anyway. The Windows Phone uses Some of the patents that were presented on the court, but they have license it from Apple. in addition the Windows Phone, specifically the Lumia line, looks and feels drastically different than the iPhone. the court upheld all of apples patents, therefore Samsung refusing to license and using the patents show willful infringement. I really liked a line from the closing stamen from apple. "Not every phone has to look like an iPhone!" and showed a Lumia and Xperia Arc
