    LOL, Samsung are really desperate now .... at least companies like Nokia did true innovation rather than copy others.... Samsung is officially exposed as distant third tier in the smartphone market... iPhone 5, can't wait for that baby!

    "Samsung will start to innovate and offer choices for the consumer."

    If making Android run slower, not updating the OS for devices just months to weeks old, or producing display panels that can't reproduce skin tones is innovation, then Samsung doesn't know innovation.

    If Samsung is forced to come up with their own ideas, instead of taking the easy way out and copying the market leader, it should lead to more innovation for the American consumer, not less.

    What an impressive win for Apple. Amazing.


     


    Samsung trolls should thin considerably now.

    I am curious to know where this leaves Android? Surely Apple can now go after all the iOS IP Google stole covered by this trial.

    Yes, and let's hope a major news agency has the guts to call Samsung out on that.

    What about Google?  I think it should be forced to pay at least some part of the damages that Samsung will have to pay.

    Nice spin control. Less than 22 hours for deliberations? Methinks the jury thought Apple had a slam-dunk case.

    I wonder if the judge will triple the damages due to willful infringement - 3 Billion would be very interesting indeed!

    I depends. Were the findings against parts that were Samsung unique or Android core? I don't know enough about Android to answer that - I'm sure someone will do an analysis...

    I do admire your optimism, however naive it may be....

    Ding ding ding!

    What really amuses me is all these people who can't stand Apple - unless some other company blatantly rips off their ideas. Then they are perfectly OK and Apple's jerks for stopping others from copying them. Ah, the hypocrisy...

    Notice Apple isn't suing Microsoft, RIM or HP (WebOS)....

    so what Sammy's saying is that we don't know how to move mobile design/innovations forward without Apple showing us the way. Even though we've been in the biz longer than Apple has, we don't know anything.

    When Michael Phelps' finished first in Olympic races, these were not "gold medals" for the American "Swim Team", but "missed opportunities" for swimming spectators.


     


    When Wayne Gretzky put the puck in the net, these were not so-called "goals" for the Edmonton Oilers, ...


     


    We could write these all night.

    Can I upgrade my Samsung phone to the latest version of Android? No? Why not? You said you were good for consumers, right?
