Did Apple forget that Google pretty much owns Motorola? All dem patents that Motorola owns.

I'm pretty sure that Google only owns some of Motorola's patents (IE Motorola Mobility). They may more or less be in charge of Motorola, but they don't own Motorola IIRC.

[citation][nom]cRACKmONKEY421[/nom]You'd think both companies could do incredible things with the time and talent spent on legal expenses. It obviously doesn't benefit the consumer at all, but I doubt it even benefits the company enough to be worth the fuss.[/citation]


Oh well, i must be dumb, i guess thinking of samsung as a person instead of a Multi billionare company was my bad. well i guess you are right.

Soundslike a bit of a reach I mean 4.1 hasnt been out that long, I think Apple just wants to shut the competition so they upgrade the iPhone slower but without comptetition.

$1 billion is a lot of benefits.

Samsung has been ordered to pay more than that previously, so it's not bad compared to what it could be.

Samsung is hardly the "weaker".
Samsung Group, which includes consumer products, has annual sales of $18 Billion and a total equity of $224 Billion and total assets of $384 Billion.

Pretty sure that Apple is winning the "whose company is worth more" fight right now, so unless I'm wrong, Samsung is technically *weaker*, but that doesn't mean that they can't be *strong*, maybe just not *stronger* than Apple.

Adding Google to the lawsuit might force Google to release Android source code for review. And then...

My guess is that Apple wants to see what Google is working on for the future of Android and determine when and if they need to add features. Or they will try to beat Google to the patents and then add any devices that included the Google invented, Apple patented, features to the next lawsuit.

Funny, but I could have sworn that Android is already open-source.

*yawns* no wonder our cuntry is broke. We spend all the tax money on useless legal battle. Apple is really in trouble now. They are also going after an AMERICAN company now.

Apple is probably suing Samsung because Samsung makes better products.

I tried a "new ipad"... and I hatted everything about it.... and no I'm not an Apple hater. Their computers, iphones and ipods are great (but way too expensive)... but in my opinion.... the tablets suck (and are too expensive).

The only thing that I liked about the Ipad was the screen... it's great for looking at the photos that one takes out in the field.... but then again the camera connector sucked too. Most of the times I had to reconnect the camera several times, and I had to reboot the tablet to get it to connect a bunch of times. I had no problems when I tested the Samsung Galaxy Note.

I guess there's no such thing as a friendly competition. Instead of going after Samsung since their sales are falling off the charts, they should think of a better phone that is cheaper. People are now thinking of quality over brandname.

Didn't Google win the patent for the notification center that Apple blatantly ripped off Android? They could counter big with that patent
