dear galbi, samsumg used the touchscreen to provide bigger/better buttons for the keypad. back in the day people did not like small buttons to type the number on because a phone was used to talk to people, not to entertain, like the iphone does. the two touchscreens have completely different purposes.... on the samsumg phone the buttons were used to scroll, and adjust the the volume right?, and the touchscreen to enter the phone number. meaning the touchscreen was used as a secondary input method(well primary in this case because it is a phone.)...
is apple suing samsumg over using a touchscreen for phone number entry?...
i don't believe any of apples patents apply to this phone... BTW does samsung still make this phone?, does it work today( is it analog only?) and why has samsumg not upgraded to work today.
i could goto gsmarena . com, i wil after posting this to check this samsung phone to see if it was analog only, and to see if it pays music.
to sum up this TL;DR lol post, using the touchscreen to enter numbers does not abrogate apple's ablility to sue sumsumg over touchscreen methods.
What you're forgetting is that Samsung did have a touch screen mp3 player prior to the iPhone.
Well to correct that just a tad. The original Palm Pilot shipped about a month before the Newton, meaning they were simultaneously developed without reference to each other. And each did things in it's own unique manner (with Palm eventually getting sued and finally losing to Xerox over the Graffitti input method).
Newton was obviously derived from earlier MacOS GUI work that predated Palm by a decade and a half.

It registered inputs the same way all resistive touchscreen register inputs. You really are the worse debater ever.
Pathetic retort.
Except it wasnt just numbers that they were typing but the entire OS was based on touch interface. A little OS called Palm existed before Apple.
A timeline starting in 1992
Newton----------------------------->Palm------------------>iPhone
btw
<---------------Apple started way over there.
