    You mean the "property" it stole from Apple in the first place? Sure it has a right to protect its ill gotten gains.

    Samsung Wave S8500. 283 ppi - and it was released in April 2010.

    build quality is superb and samsung in the same sentence? no. samsung quality is "good enough".

    what about the OS? are you going to pretend that if feels as fast as a 2year old iphone4?

    better battery life? what???



    you sir, are crazy.

    It is definitely a good looker, sports a pretty solid metal chassis and is really thin at just 0.43 inches (10.9mm). The in-hand feel of the smartphone is top-notch, thanks to the high-quality materials used and its significant weight....On the whole, the build quality of the Samsung Wave S8500 is great.

    The Samsung S8500 Wave is very well built and that?s a good way to start. The economic styling befits the slim and solid phone, and the overall feel of the device is sharp and mature. We have no complaints about the controls and handling. And the screen? words can hardly describe the difference to regular LCD displays. It?s just beautiful simply to look at.

    Why shouldn't it feel fast, it has a Hummingbird processor - effectively the same as the A4 - clocked at 1 ghz, not 800 mhz like the iP4. it runs Samsungs Bada OS which is actually quite fast. As for the battery life:

    Samsung S8500 Wave is our new battery life champion...The Bada-running Samsung S8500 Wave withstood so much torture that at one point we were wondering if it would ever die. Well it finally did after 3 and a half days

    The final verdict is that the iPhone 4 is a pretty good performer. Its score is day shorter than what Galaxy S and Samsung Wave achieved



    (Battery life test)



    Crazy, eh?



    At least I know what I am talking about.

    If 301 ppi counts as 'retina', then the Samsung Jet S8000 had one a full year before the iPhone 4. The Jet was released in June 2009 and the display was AMOLED. I have one.



    If 283 ppi counts as 'retina', then MY S8500 also pre-dates the iP4 release - by two months.



    Prior art my arse.

    The words "intellectual" and "Samsung" don't belong in the same sentence

    Apple don't have a patent on retina displays.

    Why should I? Because you said so?



    I get your point, but there is no need to be facetious about it.

    cnocbui was asked about the Samsung smartphone and, accordingly, provided citations to back up earlier claims in this thread.



    where, specifically in this thread, was there a discussion / debate about the history of the smartphone industry (which dates back to 1992 with the IBM Simon concept)?

    However, since she was shot down by both the Appellate Court and the High Court, chances are she isn't going to be so quick to issue another injunction against anyone, Apple or Samsung. Judges don't like having their rulings overturned, since a high record of being overturned can affect judicial assignments, etc.



    I can see the ads right now: "The new iPad. The tablet Samsung tried to stop!"

    Samsung has no choice. It's desperate for a favorable ruling to use as leverage in its royalty negotiations with Apple and sues in the hope of getting some judge to rule in their favor. Samsung's recent suit against Apple in Korea may stir up a nationalistic backlash against Apple. If that happens it's game over for Samsux in the USA.

    Samsung did this after the iPhone 4S release, and all those suits were dismissed. What could possibly make them think this will work out any differently?

    Actually a "Gee, I'm sorry. I didn't know that.", or "Thank you for the refererence. You were right" might be appropriate. Way too many problems and clashes in AI's forums are due to members unable to admit they were wrong and instead just ratcheting up the insults another notch to cover for their errors.



    If you make a mistake simply admit it. I do. It keeps the threads moving along instead of being bogged down in misdirection and ad-homs.

    The heavy lifting came in re-imagining what a smartphone should be, and later on, what a tablet computer should be, and those things were ALL DONE EXCLUSIVELY BY APPLE.



    Samsung on the other hand is the most shameless copycat of all the major consumer electronics companies. And the sad thing is that given the brain power they obviously possess, they need not be, but they can't help it because they don't have any imagination at all. Which isn't that surprising once you think about it: there is a reason that North Korea is the most regimented society in the whole world. Perhaps throughout all of human history.



    Your argument would've been reasonable up until you mentioned "North Korea".



    That was when the words "lol" suddenly came out.



    To suddenly associate your neighbors political system having an influence on a commercial entity's innovative thinking is quite laughable.



    Is the Mexican political ways having an influence on Apple's thinking? Um...no



    Population explosion? Well, that is a another story.



    How about the Candians? Wait... what do the Canadians do up there anyway?

    As for copying. At the time of launch it had a message centre, could act as a Wifi hotspot and you could stream media to and from it from DNLA capable devices. Apple's iOS didn't copy these features until about a year later.



    And it had a better camera, than any Apple phone until the 4s and better battery life than any Apple phone.



    You were saying...



    That SAMSUX phones look like cheap feminine grooming devices and feel inexpensively cheap. Having migrated from Android I can say that Android is a complete joke. Multiple battery pulls were the norm. Bluetooth was extremely erratic. Let's see...oh well another re-boot for my Android phone to reset the constantly failing bluetooth. Same reboots and battery pulls to enable erratic GPS Navigation. The apps blow compared to iPhone apps. They were graphically inferior when compared to the iOs version. Software upgrades????? Who the Hell knows if you'll get one or when? Everything is so fragmented that a MOTO has a completely different skin than a HTC for instance. Each manufacturer adds their own piece of crap onto the top of Android along with various BLOATWARE that can't be removed. NO THANKS!! SAMSUX cheap feeling phones combined with half-baked and fragmented Android = EPIC FAIL. Oh yeah.....My iPhone 4S just works ..... as advertised it just flat out works. Bluetooth, GPS and all!!



    I guess that's what I was saying....
