Samsung pulls Galaxy Tab 7.7 from German trade show after injunction - Page 4

I already mentioned this. He talked about how they made iPhone perfect, and that no one would be interested in "giant" phone with 4+'' screen. Sure he never said "Apple will not create phone with display bigger that 3.6''", that would be stupid, but if his speech is not clear implication of this, I don't know what else is. Go look his keynote archive at Apple web page for the recordings of this.

That one has taken it's design cues from the Nokia N8, the top and bottom frame surrounding the bezel are almost identical.

See how Nokia differentiates their products.

I really think this 7.7" device is the cream of the cream of tablet market...
Look like an iPad? man even a TV can look like an iPad because any screen has to be square of a rectangle.
Now this device has many things that just iPad fanboys can dreaming...

-1280x800 not a LCD, but SuperAMOLED Plus. Apple can launch a 1080p tablet, but it won´t be the same that AMOLED
-Processor, Who can give a Exynos capacity processor with 1.4Ghz dual core?
-Connectivity... well, where is the WiFi(n) direct, Bluetooth 3.0 and HML port on the iPad?

Only faith make great to the religion...

Shame Samsung won't sell more than 75,000 of them, then.


Get out or read more about why you're wrong.


Sure, but at least we haven't been far even as decided to do want to go look more like.


You're right, but at least it will have a better panel in every conceivable way.


Who gives a frick about processor speed when it runs the software terribly?


There's no such thing as an "HML port" and Apple's including Bluetooth 4.0 on its devices, so there's that. And what's "Wi-Fi direct" supposed to be?


And only trolls whine about crap they don't understand.

1) An iPhone with a larger display doesn't mean it's a "giant' phone. Consider 5 years of component shrinkage and a display that goes further to the edge and you could end up with a device that is less volume than the original iPhone.

2) Again, where is your proof. Proof is something that points to Jobs saying they would not nor could not make an iPhone with a slightly larger display because a larger display in and of itself would make undesirable. I can't think of a single time in which they said any such thing about the iPhone. Now the iPad they did specifically mention about 7" not being as ideal as 10".

Hhhahahahahaah!

You are saying as if competition is for competition sake. You know what choices can do for the undetermined souls?

I dropped it in the pool! I dropped my iPhone in the pool!

Was there shrinkage?

Of the components… it's possible the screen has expanded, but I haven't measured it yet.

And I'd like to nip the "pulling an obstruction (Samsung) out of a whale (Apple)" skit in the bud.

You can nip any buds you care to... just don't use pinking shears -- that makes a frilly dilly.

Samsung Digital Photo Frame cebit 2006




Apple iPad 2010




...and so on and so on... LOL. ROFL. ROFLMAO.

I don't always like your posts.

But this is a ++1.

1) You really think a digital photo frame is the same device as the iPad?

2) Do you know by how many decades the black framed photo predates any digital photo frames? I'd say it's at least several.

You forgot to add the part where you start laughing like a hyena and spraying saliva all over your screen because you imagine you're being clever.

Sorry I forgot Apple fan has not idea (neither enjoy) about good wireless connectivity...

1) You really think a digital photo frame is the same device as the iPad?

Apple Sues Samsung Over Look & Feel.

2) Do you know by how many decades the black framed photo predates any digital photo frames? I'd say it's at least several.

LOL. Oh, I know you're iLobotomized but please

This is an embarrassing post. Stop. It's quite clear that you're utterly clueless on this topic.

Go back to shilling for Samsung, instead of spouting nonsense about monopolies, mergers, competition and such.

How did it get that may models , 7.7 and 10.1, so fast?

You forgot to compare the back side, it's actually look like this:


You drink too much Android koolaid. Read this remedy:
http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2011/0...e-was-no-ipad/

You registered just to say that?

The "Look and Feel of a Tablet computer and a Smart Phone" -- not some picture frame or etch-a-sketch! (or clay slab, for that matter)

People with common sense realize that these are different devices.

Summarian Tablet - 4th Millenium B.C.




Etch-A Sketch - ca 1950.





Yeah, I keep trying to surf the web, edit videos, and play some games on that "SammySlab" -- all I get are these pictures of some people I don't know

...Now, if it could do a little Karaoke -- then, we'd really have sumpin'...

...Maybe even:

Edit: I'm through, now!

Apple has gone too far. Indeed.



http://www.technobuffalo.com/compani...-gone-too-far/

I doubt he does, but apple's suing over community design, and their community design was a basic rectangle. Even the Bezel wasn't part of this design (screen size wasn't part of the award) They received the injunction over this SINGLE hardware community design (so software shouldn't be considered).

The Community design in the EU hinges on the fact that an "informed" user would have difficulty telling the products apart. I don't really see that with the tab. I've had people mistake it for an ipad at first glance, it's true, but WITHOUT EXCEPTION every single one of them says something like "Oh, that's not an ipad, what is that?" and that's before I turn it on.

And Apple is levying the SAME design against the XOOM and apparently the new 7.7, two devices that NO ONE would confuse with an ipad, let alone an "informed" user. There's a reason Apple filed this in the EU's version of the "east district of texas."

So? Samsung's not claiming they invented the photo frame. Apple IS claiming that they invented the "black slab" style device. I don't think the picture frame is really be best defense of this personally, but it does show that the concept of "minimalist" design isn't something that's brand new. The concept of a slab style button less tablet also isn't new. a newspaper designer pitched it back in 2004 (and that's not even counting Sci-fi)

That's why the Dutch Judge said he didn't consider apple's claims in those areas valid because their design is SO minimalistic. They're levying the attack on anything that even has a passing resemblance, which is quite easy since everyone's going to make their tablet into a rectangle (a few daring companies, like Sony, might mess with the back but the front is unchanged)

The history of tech is that products tend to become thinner, lighter, more streamlined. Flares common in older tech tend to fade out of importance with time as the manufacturers seek to streamline the process. With Display tech, you have the added fact that "flare" and unique design.. ANYTHING that distracts from the screen (no matter how amazing the functions it offers) is undesirable. You want to hide it behind the screen, or with touch devices, ON the screen, but only when it's needed. (the designer who came up with LCARS mentioned this as well)

Do I think Samsung crossed a line with Touchwiz (at least as it's seen on galaxy S line devices) and with the galaxy S line? Of course. But Apple's going after all their android devices, but NOT all their touchwiz devices (no bada phones listed). Then they're using the community design patent to go after 7 inch devices, or devices like the Xoom. Implying that if you put a galaxy 7.7 prototype up against an ipad, an INFORMED user wouldn't know the ipad from the galaxy.

EDIT: And I'll link to this article a second time, because it should be read: http://www.technobuffalo.com/compani...-gone-too-far/

The government protects competition. That is orthogonal to the existence of a monopoly. Once again, there is nothing illegal about having a monopoly. It IS illegal to stifle competition via mergers or other activity (and it does not require a monopoly to be convicted of illegally stifling competition).

You really ought to learn something about topics before posting.

Didn't you hear? They already "lost" the PC Wars and the Smartphone Wars. Next, they'll "lose" the Tablet Wars.

So what is it? Is Apple suing everyone that has ever created a digital picture frame with a black border or aren't they? From what I can tell they are suing zero, zip, zilch for digital picture frames. If that is the case then why is being brought up in the context of a tablet.


Apple's has actually stated that all rectangles that are black slabs are owned by them? If so then that is a foolish position for them to take, which is why I seriously doubt that is the case.

Is that really the only reason Apple would have to sue Samsung for their tablets and phones or are there other reasons that copy the overall look and feel of the design on multiple levels? From what I can tell Samsung's design are far too similar to be a coincidence and many of them are well outside the argument that they are "obvious" when they clearly didn't exist before Apple created them.

Did Samsung have a mole at Apple in 2006? What a frigging ripoff!

The reason people bring up picture frames is because Apple shouldn't get a claim (no company should) because they were the first ones to port an EXISTING design concept to a new platform. The idea already existed. Apple was the first to fully realize that design in the tablet market, but that doesn't mean they should be the only ones allowed to use it.

They are asserting the SAME community design against the XOOM and the 7.7 inch tablets.

NO INFORMED USER would EVER confuse those with the ipad (or even the 10.1)

And yes, the concept of a "slab tablet" existed before the ipad. Apple was the first to achieve such a level of minimalism and market it, but they weren't the first ones to imagine the idea, and NOTHING about the ipad design screams "it's unique" other than how few buttons there are. IT's the SOFTWARE that makes the ipad, something that is not considered in community design.

Again, the history of tech is that things trend THINNER, LIGHTER, and SIMPLER.



Or this: http://youtu.be/JBEtPQDQNcI (from 1994) Seriously, watch this. They even use some of the SAME arguments apple does in their recent ads.

Again, you might have an argument IF apple was only going after the 10.1 with the community design (since it is the closest to the ipad) but Apple's going after the XOOM, and after a device that's almost 1/2 the size.

That's true!

But that's not exactly what Apple is going after. They are primarily a hardware seller... selling their own hardware.

People often forget that when they discuss Apple vs. Android(Google)

You're nothing but a sad little troll with nothing better to do with his life than complain about products he will never by from companies he hates on a website that isn't even in his first language, for heaven's sake.

In other words, sorry, I forgot that not everyone who doesn't like Apple products is intelligent enough to have a mature conversation about them. Nearly everyone here that doesn't like Apple is smart enough to have real opinions, a legitimate position, and isn't a spec whore.

You, on the other hand.


Hardly.

When the competition, most recently Sammy, copies Apple -- Ask yourself these questions:

1) Why don't they copy the R&D and investment in design and market research?

2) Why don't they copy the integration of hardware and applications?

3) Why don't they copy the investment in infrastructure and ecosystem?

4) What are their objectives?


The answer is simple: They aren't interested in those things -- they are in it for the "fast buck", riding on the skirts of the true innovators/delivers of technology.

As soon as the next big thing comes along, they will abandon their customers to chase the next ephemeral rainbow -- after all, they have nothing [else] to lose!

Honestly, I think that Android 3.x is more different from iOS than Windows, OSX, Linux... are different between each other.

Android 2.x, hell yeah - iOS copy and then some. But 3.x? No.

So... I think Apple will end up with some small victories, like scroll rubber-banding etc., but it will fail to stop Android tablet in a long run.

Same for the design. Samsung's front side looks a lot like iPad, but it also looks even more like Samsung's own digital photo frame. I think Samsung will have a case by explaining their own photo frame was used as visual inspiration for their tablet design.

Why do you think so? That screen will be made by Samsung or LG, likely. Can't see why would they not be able to use same technology on their products.

I keep hearing about "Android is mess".

While I am happy that I have purchased iPad for my mum (who is, well, IT challenged), I don't think that Android would be a challenge for most people. In fact, number of Android users I know - both phones and tablets - is reaching number of iOS users I know, and I'm yet to see a user on either side being unhappy with device he/she owns.

In my opinion, thy both have their weak spots and advantages. While I'd never replace my mom's iPad with Android - in fact, I'm already quietly planning to upgrade her to iPad 3 this time next year - I will get Android tablet for me, if I ever decide to own tablet.

Unless I find Windows 8 tablets even more suitable for my needs.

Of course there is always chance next iOS will cover my needs better, but I doubt that a bit.

+1
took the words right out of my mouth

And also, they don't have the Engineering, Industrial Design, Management to pull it off.

He's just trolling, let him loose...

If the number of Android tablet users you know is reaching the number of iPad users you know you travel in unusual circles.
