Absolutely I don't. The phone, tablet and stylus were all already invented.

Let's make something exactly the same as something else...but bigger/smaller...is not innovation. There was no technological challenge involved or new technology incorporated. The note series was a gimmick that took off.
Omg dude are u for real :/ hurry along, I believe Sandton has queues down the passage for the iZombie 6. Don't be late now ;) what Samsung did with the Note was the most genius business innovation in mobile phones since the iZombie.. why else would Apple copy it (years later) lol.

No, he's got a Goldstar phone, errm, sorry, LG. You know them, they invented fridges that freeze stuff at the back and keep it warm at the front.

Innovators extraordinaire.
:D

Absolutely hilarious!

+1..

Haters gonna hate.

Speaking of innovation. Hasn't the iPhone6 just matched the specs of the 2 year old S4?

Lets not get into another iPhone bashing session. The Note 4 and iPhone6/+ are very different phones. Hardware optimisation vs software optimisation.

Anyway... back on topic.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but on which device before an iphone or ipad could you scroll through lists, pinch to enlarge or shrink and a whole myriad of ways we typically operate a device today? The phones before the first iphone were nothing like the phones of today. None of them. Everyphone since however has copied that format. How can you compare this to simply making a phone an irregular size in terms of innovation ?

People who don't think the first iphone was "that innovative" have amnesia.

By this idiotic logic every company including Apple copied the company that made the 1st phone and 1st smartphone, as they still use the same technologies, they still run on a battery, use a screen, make a phone call etc...


Funny how you praise the iPhone when many of its main components and tech standards are invented and made by Samsung :D from memory and Wireless standards to chips.

Thanks for the entertainment though, you coming here and trying so miserably to discredit Samsung says a lot! :)

Cheers!

You mean to tell me I wasted my energy on a LowerGrade user??? Blehh. Must be one of them bitter G2 or G3 users, either way, last year's Note owns them, not even worth our time.

Facts are facts. Don't let your emotions over run you.
Yeah. And Samsung started the phablet category. The first note was laughed at.

They are currently on their 4th gen while Apple has now just launched their 1st phablet to try get some of that market.

Like u said. Facts are facts.

And no other phone utilised a built in stylus (in fact, no other device has an active digitiser outside of the Note line). No other device manufacturer actually came up with ways to make said stylus useful.

Scrolling was a thing when Windows Phone still ran on capacitive-screened HTC's (or even further back on S60 Nokias). So was multi touch pinching. None of the phones at the time were as refined as the iPhone, but many had similar or greater levels of functionality.

Perfect example is the iPad. It is six generations old yet still has zero split screen abilities. It's a glorified, enlarged iPhone.

Ironically enough, the Note was disruptive enough to force Apple to make the iPhone just as large. It may not be as wholly revolutionary as the iPhone was, but it forced every OEMs hand- and was not the result of a copyist, but of gap identification and risk taking. The same qualifiers that the iPhone succeeded under.

Apple copied the "copyist". Hopefully that doesn't fry your brain :D

I read as far as stylus. I had a ibm device in 1994 that had a stylus. All devices since touch screen have used a stylus....called the finger.

Brilliant. :)

The only thing someone trying hard to desperately to defend the iPhone and discredit Samsung can do with the above is ignore all those hard to swallow facts and come up with some ignorant statement. :) ...

Then you'll know that Apple didn't invent a single thing it put into the iPhone except a manner of interpretation that was superior to the competition. But it didn't innovate anything.

But, the Note line has had its own Apple-esque impact in the smartphone market- the two biggest mobile OS vendors both sell their flagship devices at the same size as the Note 4. If you're willing to call the iPhone innovative, you need to do the same with the Note.

Which he has, incidentally.

An entire market segment created out of nothing, one that even Apple bowed to and joined. But sure, zero innovation there. Some people...
