First of all i am going to state i am anti Apple and pro Samsung. In fact seeing my Blackberry is about to giveup on me i am thinking about getting the new Galaxy s3 next week. Maybe.
But i am going to defend Apple in that Samsung did copy Apple and are right to take action against them. The green phone icon through to the pinching for zoom in/out is out right theft. Samsung deserve to be sued. They should be innovative and do something original.
Pyromania is a poo poo face.
Anyone that took 5 minutes to read the Apple vs. Samsung case file will tell you outright that Samsung bold faced ripped Apple off with their first Android phones. They were dead knockoffs, admittedly so by upper management at Samsung. Things have changed drastically since those days, and Samsung are now building very nice, distinct phones. I am curious if anything will come from the LTE patents that Samsung holds in regards to Apple in the near future, though. All in all, about all these lawsuits do is stifle innovation and piss the consumers off, it's essentially mutually assured destruction.
That being said, I switched to a Galaxy S3 from my iPhone 2 months ago and I really like the thing. My only gripe is the crapware on it I can't get rid of - I really prefer the vanilla Android experience, and the third party ROM's for the S3 to get a vanilla ICS install aren't quite up to snuff yet.
I still do prefer the Apple marketplace, though. I dislike using credit cards for app purchases, and Google Play store gift cards are not available in my country yet, where as iTunes cards can be bought at any gas station/convenience store around.
