For comparison, today in Finland you'll need to pay 850€ for iPhone 4S and 660€ for SGS3. That's the reality. Old vs new device... That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The hardware is multiple times more uptodate in the cheaper gadget.

If I were Apple, I'd have fun with this. Offer say $100 credit for every one of the offender Samsung phones as a trade-in for a new iPhone. Do a little business.

Then make a little art. Take all the trade-in Samsung phones, melt them down or weld them into some kind of sculpture, maybe some free-form scales of justice. Name the piece something like "Thou shall not steal." Lol.

Like Tim said, it's about values. I really can't see apple doing anything about the millions of galaxies and samsungs already in circulation, but it will tighten the market and heat up Samsungs INVENTION department. No more INNOVATION. From a legal standpoint, apple may well mandate that the new productions be donated to our soldiers or something like that. Some hardware may be stripped but there is no need to waste 100s of 10000s of food products. The infringement is done, now it's time for Samsung to put on their dress blues and get to business.

I dont like the idea of Apple being the only tablet on the market (Its what they would like) as this will give them a total monopoly and they will be even more expensive! When apple release the 7inch model why dont the others sue apple for copying them! As an owner of both apple and android, I can tell you one isnt better then the other! certain things about android are way better than apple and vice versa, then more competition the better in my eyes,
Apple makes great products but are becoming an evil empire!
people are blindly apple fans, without daring to speak bad about things they do etc, I even had an apple friend insist apple make good headphones, (you heard how loud they bleed)
so live and let live!

Good choice! mine's white and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Just wish I had gone with the white iPad a few months earlier.

I was joking. Lol.

Samsung does plenty of innovation. They just copied too much of the apple products. But they will change some things, as will google and group, and be right back in the game. And there will be plenty of non apple tablets. This will have an impact, but overall I think it will be for the better.

Innovation is when you change something that someone else invented, just for the record.

Lol. Where did you get that? Innovating means creating something new. That can mean something entirely new, or something based on previously created.

Proprietary rights is a murkier field in the commodities market. And make no mistake, that's all an iPhone, iPad, Galaxy, Nexus or Blackberry is. A commodity.
