I’m not saying you have to visit these sites to know the difference, I’m saying the average consumer. I work with people from 24-80 yrs old and someone at every age range has asked me whether my Galaxy Nexus is an iPhone. There’s only about 3 people at my office that actually know the difference between android phones. I love Android and despise Apple products (i want to throw my iPod against a wall and burn the pieces) but the vast majority of users (though it is changing, thank god iSheep are the most annoying people ever) just want an Apple. I work with a girl who’s 24 and a teacher, yet when I tried to explain why getting an iPhone 5 is a step back in time and listed the numerous advantages of Android, she went ahead and bought an iPhone 5 because her friends had it.

That isn’t a true statement either, I know plenty of people with Android devices that don’t visit this site and they know the difference. In fact my 76 year old god mother knows the difference, to the point that she said she DID NOT want an Iphone on her next upgrade.

So, this WHOLE argument about people not telling the phones apart is beginning to loose weight and it is simply garbage. I said it before and I’ll say it again, if your product is “superior”,prove it.

Palm point had icon before everyone, so Apple can sit down with that too.

Exactly to everything @JustinSwanson just said.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is working under Apple’s payroll

Could be a mistrial, in which they would have to do this all over again

You can’t even find my highschool and college transcripts online or anywhere unless you know what schools I attended back in the 90′s, even back then my records were in a closed system that couldn’t get out, and I paid for my own schooling out of pocket working 2 jobs, no loans or grants making it even harder to trace. Lot’s of information and documents got stored and filed in a box somewhere and most were never updated to a newer system of computers os and formatted disk for different pc’s before the jump from floppy to digital. Easier to through everything in a box and put into storage, for a just in case. Technology sucked in the 90′s.

The more that this guy talks the more ammo Samsung has in an appeal.

Noun:The feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.

I was referring to public opinion — not the position of the court :p

Regarding the icons “copying” the only one I fault Samsung for was the gallery… and that is a reach-fault. iOS has a Sunflower, Touchwiz has some orange flower. Memo icon? Why wouldn’t it be a memo pad? Contacts icon? Why wouldn’t it be an address book? I was going to fault the Green dial icon until my wife said to me “What color has the call button been on phones since forever?”, “Oh, green… that’s right…”

I will say that the shapes are similar and they kinda do look similar, and to an unknowing person (never owned a smartphone or doesn’t care about phones/tech) they probably do look the same. But that doesn’t mean someone mistakenly bought a Galaxy S instead of an iPhone.

Which can be jury misconduct and can be contempt of court. It also would cause jury nullification which would throw the case out.

Just wondering out loud, none of the Jurors owned an Iphone or Android

Also his patent is a technology patent on video streaming, yet he is non practicing sounds like a patent troll to me.

Well, contempt is doubtful. They didn’t ask him to exhaustively list every single case, they just asked if he or his immediate family had ever been involved in a case. His answer was only the latest case, which by implication means its the *only case*. Either way, Samsung has a point, that by not stating he had been involved in THREE lawsuits, his answer was pretty misleading.
