Google is the true corporate thief. Samsung never had a corporate executive sit in on the iPhone/iOS development process like Eric Schmidt of Google did. 

When Google released Android, if my recollection is correct, it was first released on Motorola's Droid. And that phone was essentially a clone of the iPhone. 

Samsung was an opportunist, but can they really be blamed? Sony, HTC, LG, Motorola, Xiaomi and Huawei also produce Android based clones. 

Samsung makes nice products. Their DRAM and flash memory products are top notch. They as a company would actually like to abandon Android all together with Tizen now being used in all of their wearables. Tying those wearables into iOS is a good thing. Samsung is following a proprietary vertically integrated model like Apple as opposed to the commodity model of Intel and Google. 

Samsung and LG are going to produce components for Apple. While TSMC is able to build CPUs, they don't build displays and they don't build memory. 

At least Samsung is moving away from Android unlike the rest of the handset makers. 


I actually like many of Samsung's products including the chip and memory inside of my iPhone 6S. Google on the other hand is a totally different story.

But wouldn't that just cannibalize the iPad Pro? That's something you're so concerned with when it copipped  iPhone.

Huh? I never worried about iPhone6 canibalzing iPhone6+.  The iPad Pro will still have one or two features that the Air won't. But Pencil should NOT be one of those features.

You are truly living in La la land. There's more chance of Tim marrying Kim Kardashian than that happening. Your constant ramblings about the share price and loathing of Tim as a CEO has finally unhinged your mind. 
Suggesting a strategy of destroying your own margins by deliberately making an inferior product and then letting others make the hardware and have all that negativity.. 

Why do you guys pile on Sog? Give it up already. He has some excellent points and all you haters sound like Trolls.

It's not as bad as it sounds for the following reasons:
1. It's a DED article and I can't stand his writing style.
2. I've never gotten a virus using Android.
3. All my friends are using Marshmallow so this isn't a problem.
4. I hate walled gardens.
5. Android users are smart enough to avoid viruses because they can root their phone.
6. I love specs.
7. iPhone = Bendgate
8. I've always trusted Google because they're so innovative and cool.
