    "Apple has made a clear showing that, in the absence of a preliminary injunction, it is likely to lose substantial market share in the smartphone market and to lose substantial downstream sales of future smartphone purchases and tag-along products," Judge Koh said in Friday's ruling.


     


    Who is still buying the Samsung Galaxy Nexus? I can see "lose substantial market share" if this was a PI against the S3 that is currently selling millions, but the Galaxy Nexus???

    however, you are wrong about the look and feel not resembling Apple. I was in a  Best Buy Store the other day and I saw at least three people walk by the Samsung display and think the phone was an iPhone. Samsung is coping Apple heavily.

    Galaxy Nexus is nothing like iPhone 4s. You should take Samsung out of this case. They are in no way at fault, if there is any.

    Disappointed iPhone 4s, I settled with Galaxy Nexus. Perfect phone really. All my iPhone friends examine my beauty with amused look every time they get hand on it. I think ICS already killed IOS. JB (jelly bean) with Sammy would certainly proof-kill next iPhone, IMO.

    Apple knows that, so this. (Can not compete? Litigate) nothing else really

    The patent system is hopelessly broken.  All these lawsuits need to stop.  They make the filers look like bullies that rather litigate than innovate.

    AAPL rose nicely today. It'd be nice to see that continue come monday.

    Just face it Fandroids, your phones and tablets in their present form would never even exist, if it weren't for Apple in the first place.
    Google rose just as nicely. So did most other tech stocks.

    Who would have thought 10-15 years ago that Apple's biggest competitor would end up being Samsung? I certainly never did.

    Considering Apple was nearly bankrupt 15 years ago, probably no one :)

    Myth - it's because of Apple's cash position over time that it survived. (Billions back then aren't what billions today are.)

    Since this particular injunction has nothing to do with appearance, that has no bearing on the matter.

    It's about patent violations.

    ROTFLMAO. Can you say 'delusional'? A lot of courts are out there saying that you're wrong.

    PS: Would you not consider a Moto lawsuit part of Google at this point?

From the time of the announcement, all major decisions at Motorola were approved but Google. Did Google come along and withdraw the suit? Or is it now evil to direct a subsidiary to do something. If Apple moved all their patents to a subsidiary company and had that company sue, would you think it was OK?

    This was just one example of Google suing a competitor. It took me 5 seconds to find it.

    And what about Google officially backing up Motorola long before their acquisition was finalized (you know, where Google stood behind Moto's universally criticized 2.25% royalty demands).



    You guys can dance around all you want imagining that Google has been some big litigator. Instead it's more of the "we against the world" attitude carried over from back in the day when Apple really was "we against the world". Google hasn't sued Apple. Google hasn't sued Microsoft.


     


    Simply find a case where Google has initiated an IP lawsuit against a competitor. Any competitor will do. There's gotta be several of those over their 15 years of existence considering the attacks they get from all sides. Surely they've at least turned around and filed their own counter-suit IP claims in defense.  Even forget an whether IP is involved. Find any lawsuit they've filed against a competitor, just one, and I'll happily acknowledge that I'm wrong.


     


    Buying a company with active litigation going on is not Google suing a competitor.


    Selling patents to HTC that are used for HTC defense is not Google suing a competitor.


    Announcing they wish to purchase some company who has on-going issues with a competitor is not Google suing a competitor.


     


    Wait until they actually put their name to a lawsuit against Apple, or Microsoft or Oracle or whoever. Then everyone can have a go on how it's proof of how evil Google is, attacking it's rivals in court rather than the marketplace. It will probably happen eventually. I'm shocked Google hasn't done so already with the Microsoft/Apple gang-bang going on. So far not one forum member can find an actual case where they have. Think there might be a reason for that?

    Lol. Maybe you are not living in real world.

    A lot of courts what? Please provide me with links. (sorry, you tend to say something as facts but you do not back your claims with any plausible links)

    Great news!  Hopefully Google/Samesung stops copying everything Apple does and come up with something original for once.  If it was not for iOS, Android would look just like the dead Blackberry OS and phones.

    Read the patent in question - it's trivial...



     


    It should be easy to make a work around.


     


    Samsung would be off the hook.

    Isn't that the one Google was showing their Jellybean on, the one that get's jellybean in a couple of weeks, the one that has been reduced to $350 in anticipation of new demand?


     


    Nexus this week, Galaxy S III next.

    So JellyBean with butter will finally stop the inherent Android lag, wasn't it Ice Cream Sandwich that was going to do that?


     


    Wasn't Gingerbread the answer to the lag or was that eclair?


     


    If your Nexus is so great with ICS why was Google touting another solution for the inherent lag present in Android, "Trust us, this time it's going to work".


     


    PS I own a Galaxy Nexus it's ok as a toy to mess with, for real work I use my iPhone 4.

    so true. if there were no android phones you wouldn't have any larger screens, freedom, and for sure apple would have no reason to really improve. thats what got them in trouble long ago. they just kept putting out sh*t, tacking on more and more bloat onto the original mac os. 


    apple just sees that they are going to have to spend a lot of money and put major effort into keeping the iphone and ios alive and they dont like that. so they litigate. there are no stupid 'home' buttons on the galaxy nexus, it has a much larger screen and Android 4 is clearly not ios other than you use your fingers to manipulate it. it looks better than the iphone and i am glad i have mine and even if apple succeeded in eliminating android (which ain't going to happen) i still would not get an iphone. 


    i can't believe the number of people on here taking a 'microsoft phone is okay, but android needs to go'. just shows how idiotic they are.

    ha ha. 'for real work'. yeah, right. thats what i see people doing with smartphones. 'real' work. so tell us what real work you are getting done with the iphone that you can't do with your GN?

    No, it's called "being a patent troll".
