Baristas want to feel like everyone is copying their style, so that's what they focus on. If you only want to see copying, that's all you'll see.

Why should we expect anything less from this ass clown?


I'd have to say this is exactly what I expect from this ass clown.

BTW, LG had a "black rectangle touchscreen" first... OMG APPLE COPIED!!!!



This shit is getting old and stupid by now seriously...

Apple is the biggiest thief of tech and designs on the planet, hell they even seem to think they can patent a black rectangle when there were dozens of different electronic devices(not all tablets, but thats irrelevent when they think they have patented the black rectangle look) on the market before the ipad that shared that look. But as soon as someone copies even the actor used in one of their commercials the apple fanboi's get fired up over it? give me a break if they cant take people stealing their ideas maybe they should stop stealing everyone elses ideas. Or just do what other companies do and deal with it as its been going on for decades and isnt going to stop any time soon.

Apple is incredibly litigious. I know I've mentioned it before and it always gets dismissed, but they even sued a German cafe that used an apple (that looks nothing like Apple's apple) for their logo.

Samsung's success is what they're suing to try to thwart, not any concern--legitimate or otherwise--over their patents.

Apple is the Monster Cable of mobile devices. However, since people are so hooked on mobile devices it is completely different result. People buy into the Monster Cable marketing, techies don't. Where as Apple many techies do.

Lg Prada was announced Dec 2006. The iPhone was announced January 2007.

Are you suggesting Apple created their phone in 1 month? The LG Prada OS ran on Flash….*vomit* and was completely unusable as a smartphone. Why people still compare the two devices I'll never know, maybe it makes them sleep better at night or something.

As for the advertisement, Samsung copied. Does that matter? Not to me, I don't care if Samsung does or not, but its funny to see fanatics deny it by bringing up irrelevant arguments.

Ah yes, the core Apple patent of dinosaurs in tablets, shots of people looking at tablets and little girls.

It's kind of sad how Samsung has to try so hard only to end up being like #2 or 3. I remember the commercial they made where they're making fun of people waiting for an iPhone saying "there's no line for our phone". Well of course there isn't. No one wants your phone lol. Saying that your phone isn't in demand is basically admitting it's not as valuable. Almost like they're begging people to buy their stuff. Pathetic.

Wow LOL feeling defensive much? It is shameful to be 2nd? I am sure Samsung is so hurt that they sold 10 million GS2 devices in 5 months. No one wants their phone... wow you are delusional buddy. I do agree your comments there were pathetic however.

P.S. Your name helps us know your maturity.

They sold how many compared to the iPhone? The 4S sold 4 million on it's first weekend and broke the record for fastest selling smartphone. I guess since they have to resort to using the exact same people that were in Apple commercials it really shows that Samsung can't compete with the iPhone in a popularity or feature contest so they'll attack the user base and try to become "edgy and cool". Kind of like how you just did. I mean I didn't even flame anyone and you just decided to insult me. Regardless the fact is that no one wants a Galaxy Nexus or S2. Whenever someone walks in to my store they're always looking for an iPhone.

I have to say, I traded my iPhone 4 for a SGS2 and other than battery life I think it is better overall. Many people around here would share the same sentiment. People that buy an iPhone buy it upon its good reputation. While it has alot of things going for it, the power user is probably better served to use android instead.

I called you out on non sense. You must work for AT&T as there is a whole thread about android sales in AT&T stores. Your experience doesn't equal reality. You are dead wrong on no one wanting a S2, but you ignore the simple facts and just spout lies... so yes I called you out on it. Android has a larger market than iOS... but they don't sell phones right? Oh it is just samsung? Hmmm samsung has the largest market of android phones.

Android sold 46.9% vs Apple selling 28.7%. So again, your facts are bullshit. It is impossible for no one to want Samsung phones when Samsung is the top android seller and android is the top smartphone seller. You act like only Apple sells phones in the market and nothing else sells and you are spouting bullshit facts. I will call everyone on bullshit facts wether it is a android or apple bullshit fact.

Nice immature avatar too.

Honestly the reason I buy a new iPhone every year (and sell my old one at about 75% of the cost of the new one lol) is because I prefer it for a smartphone. It's quick, it's seamless, it doesn't have any menus that I have to navigate through to get stuff to work, and if I do have to navigate through menus I know exactly what I'm looking for. I feel as a smartphone, iOS beats out android every time. Android just doesn't have that polished and complete fell to it. Now for tablets iOS is god damn useless. That's where Android has it's place IMO. I have an HP TouchPad with Android and other than the lack of support it has right now (being an unofficial android device) I love it. Android tablets with decent hardware and a good design are better than any iPad. Why? Because tablets are supposed to be more like PCs so Android fills that gap with more customization options (before jailbreaking of course), in depth menus with little used features that some people might need, and with more connectivity options.

Shipping phones isn't the same as selling phones, more than 1.6 millon MORE iOS devices vs Android devices were activated on Dec 24/25 and you're basing your market share on the US only and not taking in to account that you aren't the center of the universe.

You're an idiot, and and a troll.

He's actually not trolling, he really believes in what he's saying :sneaky:

Back on topic, I actually find this pretty funny. I don't care which company does it to what other company, it's still funny

I can appreciate where you are coming from, and I'm not going to rehash the whole Android vs iOS debate, but your quote from above is kind of ironic because the whole big deal with the Nexus and the SGS2 is that they "do" have a polished and complete feel. With dual core cpu's, touch wiz 4.0 and ICS on the Nexus, they 'are' providing the whole package- performance, customization, and features beyond what iOS provides even after iOS5 unless you jailbreak. And is there even an untethered JB for it yet? That was one of my frustrations that led me to switch back to android.

But again, at this point its really personal preference. iPhone has great screens and great performance. I can't knock anyone who truly prefers iPhone for real reasons. My frustrations were with itunes errors and trying to copy files into iTunes just to get them onto the phone without success.

I'm glad I can have a civil conversation with at least 1 person. To answer your question: No, the A5 jailbreak has not been released as of yet but it should be here in a few days. The developer has shown videos and stuff so we know it's not too far away.

I've played with the Nexus and used ICS and I'll admit it's a BIG step in the right direction, but they're replacing an intuitive menu system with flashy graphics and animations instead of addressing the real issue with the devices. While they did make a huge leap forward with ICS I still get a feeling of it being incomplete and clunky compared to the tried and tested interface of an iPhone. usually other people that compare the 2 feel the same way when I ask them. It's a great device and all and I love the fact that they've done away with buttons on the face altogether (That is a positive in my mind) but I just don't see the speed and responsiveness that I do with my iPhones. I'll submit this link for your viewing pleasure:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/01/fi...ore-chip-just-slightly-faster-than-apples-a5/

One issue I feel with Android and the way that the manufacturers make hardware is that they usually can't stack up. When it takes a quad core tegra3 to only just beat out the dual core A5, you have to admit that something is amiss in Android hardware.

Sorry looks like you made this edit after I started posting but I understand everyone has their personal preferences. Like I said, I prefer the iPhone because of it's hardware and software but I prefer Android on tablets for some of the same reasons. Though like I posted above, the hardware in Android tablets might be weaker but it feels closer to a PC which is what a tablet is, IMO, supposed to be.

Oh good. I've begun posting on this forum for less than 12 hours and I've already run in to the token "I don't know what I'm talking about and got called out on it so I better try and cover up by posting images instead" guy. If you're not here to have a constructive conversation, please leave. Some of us actually know what we're talking about and would appreciate that people not interrupt us with stupid images like this.

You're the one who ignored any and all links with hard facts. But you are the person who knows what he's talking about.... sure. Continue on with your blinders. I will now have you ignored because I just can not resist commenting on complete blindness. I have never placed someone on ignore before... guess there is a first for everything.

On my way out...just more facts you will ignore....

I have both a iPad and a Galaxy tab 8.9. Its wierd that people complain about Apple fanboys and RDF, but to be honest, I am almost turned off my Galaxy tab by the abusive attitubes off many of Android fanboys, grow up the lot of you! You might not agree with someones opinion but neither makes you correct or give you right to bully people.

Oh noes...a random person on the internet has me on their ignore list! Whatever will I do to cope with this psychologically shattering incident?

On your way out you should have kept your mouth shut LOL! "May have" isn't the same as "fact".

Thinking about buying a Galaxy Tab 10.1 after having sold a few of them. The HP Touchpad simply isn't holding up as well as I'd like it to. What do you think of the smaller one?

I got it as I wanted a smaller portable machine and try out Android. They both have good and bad points.

I had to debug the browser that it showed full websites rather then mobile sites.

Its getting there but I still think the marketplace needs organsing. Apple sets theres out as a shop front, categorised, filters, several different top apps sections aswell as Genius section etc. Googles is half hearted as if its not bothered. I like the look of the amazon store but being in the UK I can't order.

I havn't see no lag, theres being a few crashes. Build quality is good, not quite to Apple standards (1 corner is loose) but looks wise it is better I think.

My Wi-Drive works with it now as well :-D

Cool. I'm going to see if I can score a cheap 10.1 wifi off of someone because Telus and Rogers are all giving them away for their TV/Phone service and a lot of people want iPads instead.

What I find even funnier is the people that don't understand that Samsung made money on every iDevice made for years since they built the SoC for them and supplied memory for a lot of them.

Oh and to add to the fire

Hmm, posted Jan of 06. Samsungs digital picture frame looks an awfully like the iPad that came out 4 years later
