Apple's Schiller: "I was shocked at the appearance of the Galaxy S"; recap of week one

Tablets used in Kubrick's classic film |
There was also the whimsical in week one of the trial. The judge ordered that Samsung could not show any devices from the 1968 classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Samsung wanted to show the jury an iPad-like tablet in the film, but the court relied on precedent that fictional characters can be used for a Prior Art defense only when the characters actions match up with the heart of the real-life case. Simply showing a fictional character using a tablet did not match what the actual issue is in the trial. The issues at hand have to do with patents, of course, and the film was excluded.

One of Sony's designs allegedly used to design the Apple iPhone and excluded by the court |
On Friday. Apple submitted three pictures that it later released to the public (see below). The photos showed the timeline of Samsung's smartphones and tablets compared with the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad, in a bid to show how Samsung "slavishly" copied the designs. Also on Friday, Apple Sr. VP Phil Schiller took the stand. He revealed that each iteration of the Apple iPhone sold more than the combined number of outstanding iPhones released before it. And contradicting previous statements, Schiller said that Apple does conduct marketing surveys and that 85% or those who bought the Apple iPhone 3GS or the Apple iPhone 4 said that appearance was important or very important to their decision to buy the phone, thus laying grounds for Apple to claim severe financial injury from Samsung's alleged copying of Apple designs.
Schiller said that he was shocked when he saw the Samsung Galaxy S and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The executive said that he felt that Samsung was going to copy Apple's entire product line. He also called the Apple iPad "a great risk" to Apple's reputation considering that the tablet market was dead when Apple launched its tablet.
We still have a long way to go with this trial with week 2 coming up. Stay tuned.

Why do Samsung try to drag other company's down while Apple recover useless patents to screws with everyone, I mean Dafuq?

I find it strange that the Behold II is not featured in the graphic. This was an ugly device which was one of Samsung's first forays into the world of Android. Underpowered and burdened with an ugly Touchwiz and looked nothing like the iPhone. Thankfully, they stepped up their game and released the Galaxy series.

What does that have to do with anything?

what does apple mean by copying entire product line, isnt it only 2 design? iphone 3 and iphone4
7. taco50 (banned) posted on 04 Aug 2012, 19:20 8 28
And the iPad. Samsung did their best to mimick Apple's products both in looks as well as touch wiz.

Don't you ever go outside? I mean seriously, you wait until someone post a comment that you can easily troll in.

Its probably someone spoofing his account again *snicker*

You have to admit that the 'spoofing' excuse was one of his more creative ones. Now, every time he gets called out, he has the perfect excuse - I was spoofed...
Kind of how Apple's trial counsel said that Sammy was going to claim The Devil made us do it....

dont you have some a job to go to? oh wait.. you dont, do you? go outside. there's this neat thing called "the sun".. its just like your room light, only it requires no electricity.

Well, perception is reality. So, another viable reality to the one Apple proposes is that Samsung manufacturers a plethora a varying handset designs and builds. The more variations you have, the more likely that one will resemble another, though there are indeed differences.

Not true at all. HTC for example comes out with many phones, but they're unique in design and try to put their own spin on the interface.
Android copying iOS of course is a different story.
13. PapaSmurf posted on 04 Aug 2012, 19:39 17 5
Android is such a total copy of iOS I will agree. I mean, we did steal multitasking, notifications, turn-by-turn navigation, customization, and last but not least- 4G, which revolutionized the world when the 4S was released. How silly of me to forget!
15. protozeloz posted on 04 Aug 2012, 19:44 10 3
forgot voice actions, speak to text and smartphones actually capable of predicting your next move and providing relevant info on that matter
29. Hemlocke posted on 05 Aug 2012, 02:39 1 5
Voice actions? Voice control was on the iPhone before any Android phone.
35. protozeloz posted on 05 Aug 2012, 08:07 0 0
so you could ask for directions? ask for a Google search? send text messages and call local places not on your directory? the voice commands on iOS where not even close, they where on the lines of those crappy voice commands found on Symbian phones , voice controls where so amazing on iOS they needed to buy siri, but you will pretend otherwise
55. TortillaSlap posted on 05 Aug 2012, 13:12 2 1
really? and how do you prove such a thing? Voice control was on RIM before the iphone came out. It's been on android since 1.5.

I was about to, but then was told that some female robot named Siri I got hired because she paid them for my spot.

Apple sue HTC with their patents as well so what's your point?
23. prototype posted on 04 Aug 2012, 21:48 2 3
Everyone know a devices look more or less the the same design ,Apple patent are silly sueing other base on design and feel is stupid and hurting us as a customer.

You mean Apple hasn't claimed to have invented the telephone?
Oh, wait - they think it was Don Ameche.

Why do they keep using images of the Galaxy S app drawer instead of the homescreen? Very deceptive.
28. sbr999 posted on 05 Aug 2012, 01:10 3 2
because iOS is so limited it doesn't even have a homescreen!
37. ReturningToNokia posted on 05 Aug 2012, 08:20 1 4
Deceptive is correct, which is why Samsung used it in all of their photos - to deceive the public into thinking that it's 'just like the iPhone'.
This is the one of the main reasons Apple is suing Samsung.

Really? Because every ad from Samsung I ever saw for the Galaxy S2 on up featured clock widgets. Weather widgets, Google search widgets, etc...

Ted give it up. It's very obvious Samsung copied Apple's design. Only the most rabid fanboys can't admit that.

Correction: Apple used it in all of their crybaby attacks against Samsung.
Do some of yall even bother to search before posting or you just see Apple vs. Samsung and just jump in head first?
Thank you tedkord. Apple, its fanboys are famous for trying to re write history...

I find it funny that Apple shows that the iPhone still looks the same in both hardware and software besides the inclusion of wallpapers (what a major inovation).
42. Droid_X_Doug posted on 05 Aug 2012, 10:00 2 1
Ah, yes... wallpaper. MS had better watch out, Apple will be gunning for them next - over wallpaper in Windows.
