Good to hear, they make really good products so they deserve it.

Some companies can stand up against Apple's bullying and not only that, but thrive on it. Nice going, Apple. You wanted to diminish competition, but your despicable tactics have been counter-productive.

Exactly. I bet Apple didn't expect that epically long (and still ongoing?) court battle to actually benefit Samsung.

Record-breaking judgements in copycat lawsuits seem to be a good way to publicize a product's similar feature set.

If only Samsung could use tiny bits of those profits to keep-up the older Android phones with latest Android versions...

Apple made almost 4 times more profit than this last year. Too bad Samesung can't copy profits.

Samsung does make decent products. Good to know they're doing well.

Large parts of that have to be blamed on the phone service providers. A lot want their own crap installed and what not.

At least in the US. Don't know how it is in Europe or anywhere else.

I'll bet if service providers didn't each want their own version we would see more updates.

No, updates aren't existent here either for older phones, and we dont have carrier locked phones.

I think, for us consumers, this war between Apple and Samsung is good stuff. Its driving both of them to strive to outdo the other and we're benefiting with better products at reasonable costs. They're both making money hand-over-foot so the lawsuits don't seem to hurt too much {man, can I get a billion dollars? Can I?}. In 2 weeks time I've completely been taken by the SGS3 (and by loose association this Asus Transformer Infinity) and I'm a hard case to please, now they're talking about an SGS4. However, having seen the iphone 5 {that my wife just got}, its nice too and she's thrilled. ...not my cup of tea right now but I can see why people like it. It took $60 worth of Zagg Invisible Shield on the front and back to protect it so it doesn't look disgusting after 2 days. For all that money Apple could have implemented a durable design. Samsung, on the other hand, shot for durability (one could say) over design asthetic (though TBH, the SGS3 is a good looking piece of kit). I'm not crazy about all plastic but it may hold up to everyday use for some that are not as careful with their gear as others much better than the scratch-prone alumiinum our other friend chose. My wish for the SGS4 would be something like Kevlar or something else neat that looked amazing and was durable (see Moto Razr/Razr Maxx) but that's kinda minor.

So Samsung and the fruit can keep right on at it as far as I'm concerned.
Again, you just can't recommend the SGS3 enough but that doesn't mean the iPhone5 is trash...my wife loves hers.

I think some people are put off by Apple's "sue everyone" approach, and though Samsung is a huge company, they come out looking like the underdog.

Yeahp...and Sammy knows that's just helping them (and every little bit helps)...it got me to look in their direction.

Good for Samsung.

And this is something for everybody including Apple defenders that shows how Apple twisted some evidence in court:

And yet despite Apple profits, Samsung still has more than double the revenue, more than double the total assets and more than triple the total equity, Apple have a long way to catch up and those profits only serve to artificially inflate the share value beyond the companies actual value. Apple knows this and now so do you.

Negative publicity is always a good thing ... I guess. Everyone loves the underdog and everyone loves the drama. Personally, I'm just fine with my Galaxy S2 (i777) and it continues to rock with JB on it.
