It's not the phone it's the SIM. The SIM handles the crypto and runs Java. The phone is hardly involved, it powers the SIM and relays the messages.

Re: I bought the S3 because of this legal nonsense

Samsungs internal emails that came up at last years trial show quite plainly that, at least for phones, Samsungs 'innovation' has a lot of 'do what whatever Apple does' in it. At least the jury thought so. Samsung was found guilty infringement but can happily keep on infringing. It's not unlikely that in a few years, maybe as soon as somewhere after the launch of the Galaxy S5 or so, Samsung has to pay for the infringing S3.

Apple would prefer Samsung to stop using 'their stuff', but nobody wants to make Samsung do that.

Meanwhile, Samsung thinks that (maybe) paying a few 100 million 'damages' in a few years to get yourself cemented as a a top smartphone brand now, is cheap.

What's the point in innovating when anybody can just copy your stuff?

Re: Jobs legacy

Apple is not interested in the money, they want Samsung to stop using 'their stuff'.

Last year jury agreed it was 'their stuff' and Samsung was using it, and they shouldn't be.

Re: Another one?

A UK court found some some design/trade-dress similarities between iPad and Galaxy Tab not close enough to merit an injunction.

So no.

These are the same patents that a California jury already found infringed in the S3 and other Samsung phones.

Yes, this Korean home appliance maker with a weapons division make some neat phones.
