Samusng S-iphone 4, Samsung Ace -iphone 3GS, Samsung 9 -MBA etc

There is a fine line between what is copying and what is competing for sure and Samsung walks it too dangerously for my liking… is it really necessary Samsung?  Other manufacturers are capable of producing similar products without looking that much like Apple ones.  You bring it on yourself.  I’d like to see more of the samsung tab 7″ kind of innovation from Samsung rather than products like the Samsung Ace which look like a 3gs.

Samsung has many different kinds of phone eg the newish samsung galaxy pro is similar to the blackjack… they haven’t changed just expanded their range. 

Samsung tab 7 was the first 7″ slate … therefore Samsung is a leader in that market.
Samsung galaxy pro was the first gsm android qwerty … leader
etc etc

If I were Apple I’d start with showing the ITC just that.

And this alone shows Samsung is a copier, not a leader.

Nice try understanding the term.  Its time to put the keyboard down now and leave the logic up to the grown ups now though.

Unlike half dozen tech websites, you guys didn’t go out of your way to photoshop one of the galaxy line ups to make it seem they’re the exact same size with app drawer open to make it seem even more simliar to iphones

It’s like watching clowns trying to out out fire with gasoline, while the city — our city, and our childrens’ city — burns down around them.
