MS got nothing on Android...

if it did, it would have gone after Google. Oracle is probably more of a threat to Android.

Just because Samsung/HTC stole MS techs and incorporating into Android doesn't mean it's profiting directly from Android.

As for those manufacturers, a simple maths was done ... add MS tax to the price of device ... take profit. Share holders happy, job done.

Simple mistake to make!!!

So so ...

Once you buy an Android, you won't go to an iDevice, a case of "Once you had black, you'll never go back".

But when you buy an iDevice, you are willing to cheat and try other devices.

Seems like Apple is insecure about its customers loyalty.

Still kicking?

I'm impressed, go Psystar!!!!

Mind, you probably can put together a Hackintosh for less than 200 quid nowaday.

Good marketing ploy

to get fanbois to queue early for their next ifix.

Rounded corners

Is Apple going to pull another tantrum?

Wang N Staines

but but ...

you have to sell 100 Android devices to make the same profit as 1 Apple device.

Wang N Staines

We won't get to see these

as Apple will block their sales.

Sorry

How are iPhone users going to use other people's OSes again?

An i for an i

So far, I don't have faith in Samsung's lawyers.

Buyer

The buyer should be given the option to enable/disable this option NOT the OEM.

Problem sorted. Damn, I should be the next HP CEO.

Wang N Staines

so what?

It may well be the case that prior arts exist but an Apple patent trumps all of that because black turtle necks are far more superior.

73%

I would expect that number to be a lot less if Apple stop obstructing other manufacturers from producing rounded corners tablets.

Wang N Staines

Hmmm

Rounded corners & smooth surface!!!

<$1000

Maybe Intel could cut its take by say 10% and we'll all get a shiny metal instead.

Expensive

Job creation for the lads.

Just proves

that she never slept her way to the top.

Wang N Staines

They are showing

that can come up with something original.

I expect Samsung will be copying this innovative product soon.

Wang N Staines

Hmmmm

It seemed Apple had been rattled by Samsung for nothing.

Going by this review the iPad still is the king.

Wang N Staines

Silly price

299 is the right price.

Wang N Staines

More cash in books

How do you think they are currently funding all those wars?

Oils .. Nah

Arms sales ... Nah

Books are where the big margins are made.

Wang N Staines

Just saying

So a U.S judge favoured a U.S company in a U.S court

Hmmmm ....

Wang N Staines

Too expensive

Cut the price by half, I might be interested.

OS X licence

"Plus, it will run OS X, Windows 7, and Linux (and all at the same time if I want) which can not be done on any generic PC at all."

That's because Windows & Linux don't FORCE you to run on a certain hardware from a certain company. ;-)

"wobble and rattle on my desktop"

You need to replace your cheap table with a more expensive iTable.

Lucky American

A small price to pay for living in the free world.

I got my insurance reminder by email last week, maybe this UK company is affected by this patent too.

someone once said...

"In my lifetime all our problems have come from mainland Europe and all the solutions have come from the English-speaking nations across the world"

Wang N Staines

a slap on the wrist...

and everyone moves on. Rinse & repeat!

Wang N Staines

But...

But some of those Android tablets cost more than the iPad.

So cutting corners doesn't seem to significantly reduces the cost.

Wang N Staines

@all those eejits who ...

can't tell the difference between a Samsung & an Apple phone.

Wang N Staines

so

1. the location logging inaccurate, so let's say it is 3 miles out

2. a crime was committed at some location

3. the cop asked you where you were when the crime was committed

4. you said that you were nowhere near there, in fact you were 3 miles from away from said location

5. the cop examined your phone, and it said you were there

6. you go to gaol

I rest my case.

make sense

to move it to countries where employee deaths are not taken too seriously.
