The Patent War between apple and samsung

The biggest news of the week and it's been the biggest story in the past few weeks and that's the patent war between apple and samsung. It's only in the past few days where i've realised that this patent war is a big deal. Either way the consumer will lose and I know i've been talking about how competition is good but it's not during a patent war.

Here's the stats, if apple lose, samsung will retrieve 2.4% of every iOS device sold and if samsung lose, samsung will have to pay 2.5 billion dollars. Either way one company will end up putting their prices up therefore costing more for the consumer and we'll lose features.

Apple are in my eyes are arrogant they've patented chamfered icons and rectangle tablet form factor amd it's their thing if everybody copies the design and they set out for an iPad and go home with a galaxy tab well they are absolutely stupid. I just think apple have got the right to patent things that make apple products apple but not stupid things like edges and shapes. They've also patented the slide to unlock and I think how else are you going to unlock your phone or device, I just think it's utterly stupid.

I'm not just siding with samsung. Samsung have made some stupid decisions, they've looked at apples software and changed it slightly so they've had it coming. Apple spend years and years testing and prototype different designs to get the most user satisifaction but samsung havent got the time to do all the innovating so they copy whats successful and make it their own.
