Apple sues Samsung for 'copying' iPhones and iPad

Apple is suing its rival Samsung Electronics for allegedly copying the design of its iPad and iPhone.

It claims Samsung's Galaxy range of mobile phones and tablet "slavishly" copy the iPhone and iPad, according to court papers.

Apple's claims focus on Galaxy's design features, such as the look of its screen icons.

Samsung said it had conducted its own research and development and would contest the allegations.

'Blatant copying'
Galaxy products use Google's Android operating system, which directly competes with Apple's mobile software.

As well as being a competitor, Samsung supplies Apple with microchips that are used in some Apple products, such as the A4 and A5 processors, as well as memory chips used in MacBook Pro computers.

I believe Samsung is releasing the Samsung Galaxy S ll in may this phone will be sick .. I really wanna see if the iPhone 5 will be better than this phone :D

John Park, analyst at Daishin Securities, added: "This is more like a symbolic move by Apple that it is quite serious about rivals advancing, and it is trying to hold back its close competitors."

Monopoly, anyone?

They are suing companies for copying, even though their products are nothing, but bunch of features stolen from others.

Dear Apple:

Sorry but I lol'd.

Wasn't there an agreement on using same type of chargers a while ago?

Please look at my links, iApple is the copycat here. Hell, they even used Nokias slogan "Connecting people" a while back.

I'm on samsung's side! I hope they pwn apple and google helps samsung to get out of this

Are they going to sue Blackberry for the Playbook? That thing looks exactly like an iPad. But of course if it doesn't have the apple on the back, it is 100% better.

Apparently, Apple had a pateny on the outer-hardware(the curved shaping)

they might as well sue everyone.
