  • Apple plan to formally demand Samsung pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the U.S. market
  • They can also ask the judge to triple the damages to $3 billion
  • Samsung has emerged as one of Apple's biggest rivals and has overtaken them as the leading smartphone maker
  • Samsung sold 22.7 million smartphones and tablets that Apple claimed uses its technology

‎"From the beginning, legal experts and Wall Street analysts viewed Samsung as the underdog in the case. Apple's headquarters is a mere 10 miles from the courthouse, and jurors were picked from the heart of Silicon Valley where Apple's late founder Steve Jobs is a revered technological pioneer"

What does that mean ??

Aah..American Justice System OFCOURSE apple was going to win. Samsung lost the case in USA, Apple lost one in Korea. Blah blah two companies fighting over patents.

Its only sad for the consumer. Apple doesnt like competition which means less options for consumers. Don't be surprised to see many overseas products now being delayed and coming last to USA.

In other news, I'm enjoying my 5.3" screen android.
