Judge says launch of Samsung Galaxy S III will proceed on June 21st

Judge Lucy Koh's decision to delay the Apple-Samsung trial will allow the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III |
Instead, the plan just might have backfired as Judge Lucy Koh said late Monday that Apple's push to get an injunction on the Samsung Galaxy S III would overload her calendar especially since she is presiding over another Apple suit against other Samsung products. And Koh's decision has nothing to do with the merits of the case, it really is a decision based on Koh's court schedule. Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said that the "blatant copying of its devices is wrong." Google spokesman Jim Prosser blamed the huge jump in patent battles on the increase in vaguely written patents. Last week, Koh said that Apple could ask for a TRO (temporary restraining order) against the Samsung Galaxy S III, but that would have only lead to a delay in Apple's patent infringement suit against the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 and some other Samsung smartphones.

Apple is scared. On Facebook I've seen some of my female friends, who are iPhone users, planning on getting the SIII.

Yeah, I've friends who are posting pics of the S3 saying they want it the same way they did 2 years ago with the iPhone. I guess when the whole worlds using it it just got stale...

I haven't seen other cases of hers but the treatment here is very encouraging.

Apple is turning into a bunch of sour grapes because they're next phone is going to be a lemon.

All the "new" features in iOS 6 are copies of Android features, so how is Samsung the one copying?

We may be brainwashed, but you guys are a bunch of traitors. Don't cry when more of your jobs move overseas, even the ones designing your basements. Yes, I know the components are made in China and elsewhere. But the company and the minds doing the designs are here in the good USA. Have fun with your Korean phone. ****P.S. don't worry McDonalds, the malls, and KFC have exciting opportunities.

So the niche job market of cellphone designers may take a hit because apple can't compete? Why do i even care? Competition hopefully will make apple stop playing the lawyer game and make some real kick ass hardware. Protectionism does a lot more harm than good.

boycott Apple and its disgusting behaviour:
1) Apple ebook price-fixing lawsuit
2) "Steve Jobs FBI file: Lies, drugs and bomb threats"
3) $1.2 million fine in Italy
4) To make Apple behave right you have to sue him. (antenna-gate)
5) Apple blatant copy from Android and WM:

This is too funny!! I'm glad it's approved for its original release date. Apple was just trying to do everything they could to slow them down, so they can play catch-up. With the disappointing outdated features in iOS6 though, I'm afraid they are s**t out of luck! I'm sure their new phone isn't going to be anything special either. LOL

Apple is scared! Good. They've been on their high horse and looking down on consumers as if we are stupid for far too long. Tired of people being brainwashed into thinking Apple is the only one that makes good devices. What's Apple gonna do when they're only big feature on the iphone was Siri, S voice is just as good. Call it copying if you want ifanboys. how's that notification bar you use? Awesome you say? Yeah, i've been using it for 3+ years now. If consumers would actually think for themselves a little and do some research before buying, i betcha a lot more would be getting Android or Windows Phone.

This is what happens when you piss off the presiding judge in a lawsuit. Apple is going to lose every motion Judge Koh's courtroom where there is judicial lattitude.
Oh well, sh*t happens.

That's really good news for samsung consumers, especially to those who preordered in the US. Glory days of apple is over. It's time for other companies to reap the fruit of success especially samsung. We knew the only permanent in this world is change, apple should embrace it.
QinEmpire, Taco, Gallitoking and other sheep, what can you say your beloved apple is reaping karma now?!

Apple just needs to be banned from the courtroom for 3 years. period.

No surprise just as I had thought... Not the 1st time this judge said no to apple... Good news for the consumers as they will not be restricted from purchasing the s3.
