Default Apple Sues Samsung Electronics Over 'Galaxy' Phone, Tab

Oh for the love of...

Well, at least they didn't copy teh suck aspects.

Wall Street Journal: online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110418-711262.html

Engadget: engadget.com/2011/04/18/apple-sues-samsung-over-for-copying-the-iphone-and-ipad/

I hope this is sorted out by the time Canada is supposed to get the S2.

The WSJ source article is pretty flimsy, probably just temporary until they get more details, but this is a bit bothersome.

Cool, but it wasn't there before I looked. (edited post?)

I can't post any links (I guess my original post just fluked b/c there were not HTTPs in them), so we can have this closed on moved there if you want.

Thx for the details.

BTW, Engadget's article has been updated with more details, too.

How can they claim the Nexus S is similar to an iphone? It has no features similar other than being a touchscreen, even that is different as it is curved. Are apple going to sue all companies for making phones? Hmmm, who made the first touchscreen phones...

The first touchscreen phone (that I can think of) was the Ericsson R380 - http://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_r380-195.php
