Apple taking on the world
/in before BeVonk has a bitch fit
Didn't Symbian have row of icons before Apple?
But did Nokia patent it?
Unfortunately what did happen is that someone in the US patented common sense and never took it to market - now no one is allowed to use it. :-/
I find it hard to believe that a company would damage its own reputation and brand on such petty items. The only conclusion I can make is that their innovation dept must be running on empty.
Probably not ...
But no one in their right mind that an evil giant would come along and start crap like this. I mean to patent a row of icons ... really? If I was Nokia back then I'd also not have thought about it
Couldnt agree more. Like google-Motorola for instance. So petty!
You were watching until a stone was cut out without hands
Because their patent is totally the same as as patenting a row of icons.patents that pertain to the H.264 video compression codec and wireless technologies
That totally makes it ok. Fire away!

For me, it is blatantly obvious that Samsung intentionally tried to make their early touchscreen phones "more like Apple", and the internal memos from Samsung prove this. Google even warned them not to copy Apple.
It took Apple 5 years of R&D to make the first iPhone - Samsung copied it and had their first "competitor" in the market in a matter of months. They should write the $1b off as development costs and move on.
Re: Apple taking on the world
The best written article on this matter to date. The author shares my sentiments exactly. I've always maintained that Apple should/could have dealt with this in other ways that would enhance their brand/image, not degrade it to bully status as is happening now. Innovation was needed in dealing with the copycats, not litigation all across the globe. The impression I can't help getting is that Apple has run out of fresh ideas. If only this article was published sooner.

... clearly it wasn't enough since it was a horrible 'smart' phone lacking basic features like multi tasking :/
