Two Can Play At This Game: Samsung Wants To See Apple's Next Gen iPhones & iPads
from the patent-disputes dept
Last week, we noted that Apple had successfully convinced a court that Samsung should be forced to hand over unreleased prototypes of its new phones and tablet computers as part of its patent dispute with Samsung. In response, Samsung (which filed countersuits over other patents) is demanding Apple hand over its next generation iPhones and iPads to Samsung. The whole thing is getting pretty childish, which is basically what happens in patent disputes of this nature. Why can't these two companies just focus on competing in the marketplace, and letting the best company win based on who's buying what?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I also agree that the Galaxy S is better than the iPhone. I love my Galaxy, and my iPhone loving friend is thinking of changing over for his next phone after looking at mine for a bit.

Point out the bad guy

Also this brings up another good point; if were so against patents and the monopolies they bring are we willing to grant an arbitrary time length for even a shorter period? I know this has been discussed, ad nausem in other threads so spare us the debates on that issue.
However, can we get on a reasonable debate on abolishing the patent and copyright system?
This, my friends is the awakening period I think the world needs. It's through communication of ideas that greater ones develop and I pray I see that come to pass. The Whats In It For Me thought process is archaic and its never more blatantly obvious than it is here since I started reading TD back in Hot Cofee crack for NFS. Hey what can I say? My ideas flow to entertainment & having fun; Toy soldier that I am.

That is because unlike Samsung, HTC rolled over for a patent bully.

I'm not a sports fan but I've seen enough sporting events to know it is ALWAYS the second guy that gets the penalty.
