But why do you hope this? What, exactly, did Apple do to deserve that they should be taken down? They've stimulated if not completely recreated three hardware markets over the past 10 years...one as recent as 1.5 years ago. It's absurd that you'd ask for that to end.

Time and Time again Apple has copied others and laid claims to innovation. Apple needs a good smack to the chops and should drop all these lawsuits.
I refuse to develop Apps on iOS anymore due to Apple's gouging of everyone they can (their competitors, their developers, their supports and their customers.)
I'll stick to Android and Windows Phone, that is where the future is anyway.

Is this really the quality of writing we're going to see now at TC? It's an emotionalist, Gizmodo-style regurgitation of Samsung PR completely devoid of facts.
Samsung, like LG, is a company that just licenses other vendor's IP: Symbian, then Windows Mobile, then Android, and then WP7. They were blindsided by the iPhone and iPAd, so they just started copying it as closely as possible. Samsung doesn't have the kind of patents Apple has. It has FRAND-encumbered patents that it has already committed to standards (such as WiFi and 3G UMTS), making its patent position weak compared to Apple's design and technical patents that it hasn't licensed and doesn't intend to license.
The fact that Samsung began its case by bluffing about how it was "flattered" to be getting sued by Apple, and is now bluffing about how its going to "get to...See More

Hey Daniel, how did things work out for Apple when it infringed Nokia's "FRAND-encumbered" patents? Secondarily, when did you and Gruber invite Mueller to your circle jerk, or did he just kinda show up and make it all about him?

Almost ALL apple products have samsung parts because of their advance technology, that until now they can't produced one hardware without Samsung part inside of it...
If there's no best parts of samung , where's apple now - nowhere, morons.
All itards are imbecile and most of them doesn't have other products because they can't buy other technology...
I have iPad 2, Samsung galaxy tab 10. 1 & HP touchpad and I can tell you that the ONLY ADVANTAGE of iPad is APPLICATIONS but their ios is the MOST BORING SOFTWARE that's why they will steal & copy webOS and Android.
I have Apple iMac, MacBook pro, apple tv and every one of them has Samsung parts.

Sorry Brandon, with Billions in their War Chest, and the Brightest Attorney across the globe, Sammy doesn't have a chance, and the final hurt will be when Apple sources their NAND, Processor and LCD business elsewhere, Apple is 53% of Samsungs Business, the only one going down will be Samsung.

No, it's NOT having the iPhone that is killing Sprint; when they get the iPhone 5, however, it will be their salvation, not its death.

All the recent changes are not in the customers interest, because sprint is anticipating iphone's arrival. Ending their loyalty program, higher etf, 14 day return on new handset, no 30 day risk free trial, tethering capping fee. Everything that set Sprint apart is gone. Iphone is the carrier killer. verizon went thru the same process before release of the device. I have been Sprint customer for 8yrs. So yes this is personal Apple!!

But hasn't samsung been "free riding" on Apples iPhone design from 2007 and Googles android OS since these smartphone wars started? Are all of you people who like Android "because it's open" blind? Apple changed the entire mobile industry with the iPhone (you wouldn't have your android device as you know it today without the iPhone). To say otherwise is stupid and arrogant. So who is free riding? Apple, who creates all it's own stuff by it's own hand, or phone makers who "free ride" on Android because they can't make their own OS? Or is it google who free rides by using these manufacturers for ad profit? Hopefully the whole android empire with free ride itself into the ground.

You are missing the biggest point in this whole war. Thus far, Apple's been alleging that Samsung has copied "look and feel". Now Samsung is accusing Apple that Apple copied real innovation in HW. iPhone without 3G cannot be called a smartphone. Few months ago, Apple and MS bought IP from Nortel, I believe Samsung may have been busy looking through those IP portfolio to see if the portfolio contains any valid 3G patents. Samsung may have just concluded that the portfolio do not have any valid claims on 3G. If this is the case and Samsung's patents in 3G is strong. Samsung should be in a very strong position. If Samsung wins in Holland, it could effectively block sales of iPhones in most of EU and will have carry over effect in Asia and US as well. It seems Apple may have awaken a sleeping giant.

Apple finally has shoot itself in the foot. They've always been way to aggressive in these situations. They kept pushing Samsung and quite frankly pushed Samsung into the aggressors role.
Now that Samsung has grown a pair I'll bet a settlement will be imminent.

"It may preserve the business relationship it has with Apple, while proving to the world that Apple is indeed afraid of Samsung and its increasing growth.", it's obvious that the author doesn't know Apple very well. This is a company that regularly kills its own successful products in order to introduce newer and more successful one; a company that threatened to kill iTunes if the government didn't back down! Guess who won that one?

Sorry buddy, Apple is already putting Samsung out of the $7B dollars it gets from Apple every year, I know, 7 billions is a small amount, but Toshiba, Sharp and others will do whatever it takes to get those few pennies from Apple while Samsung keep supplying non-apple phone makers, it's wise to notice that Apple was Samsung bigger client.

Frank Guillen If seven billion dollars is just pennies to you, you must be Carlos Slim or something? Trust me, seven billion is not pocket change anyway you slice it. True, however, that Samsung will lose big time. In fact, Samsung stated that it was going softly because it didn't want to lose Apple's business, but since Apple is already moving its business elsewhere they have nothing to lose now, so their hitting back as hard as they can. Whether it helps them or not, since most of their patents are of the F/rand sort anyway.
