I don't like Samsung anymore than Apple but come on: You people know what this is all about. They are threatened by Samsung's looming success. This law suit is not about principles(Apple doesn't have any), it's about Samsung becoming a threat. They weren't even the ones who developed the tech for putting multi-touch into a small form factor It was Fingerworks,(which Apple bought in 2005 by the way). Apple even attempted to patent the multi-touch in it's entirety claimed to have invented it and put it in an apple trade mark: That's how self absorbed they are they even fail to look at how stupid they look when they behave in that manner. What we are having now is just the rehashing of that idea, and a lot of shameless self-promotion. I give credit to where credit is due, but for me the innovation ended there. The innovation was in putting it in a portable form factor such as a mobile phone. The first commercial multi-touch screen device to ever enter development was the Mitsubishi DiamondTouch in 2001. Maybe they'll put to good use the money they get from Samsung and actually innovate something again.ĪnonD-977, multitouch M-U-L-T-I-touch.What's up with the one liner, care to make a point? What about multi-touch? You think Apple invented that too? The earliest implementation of mutual capacitance touchscreen technology was developed at CERN in 1977 based on a capacitance touch-screen developed by Ben Stumpe in 1972. I'm not a Samsung fan, but I've always been a fan os its Galaxy S series and I'm really proud of their progress, would like to say the same for the iPhone too. Maybe Samsung did copy and indeed had to be sanctioned, but this is going way to far, it's about having an alibi to continue stealing their money for something they've done 2-4 years ago. And excuse me, hard work? The only thing I see giving them a sweat is this court war, I see no major changes between iPhone generations, I'm not exactly sure the same goes for the iPad so I'm gonna stay silent here, but dare I say it might be the same case. It's true they did innovate a lot of things and made our lives easier, but have they done it in recent times? Let's say, since this patent war waged between them? And did they invent something new? No, they did not. World of Apple (via MacRumors) spotted the patent, which was awarded last Tuesday to several Apple executives, including Steve Jobs, iPhone software chief Scott Forstall, and Wayne Westerman. "It has been about innovation and the hard work that goes into inventing products that people love."
