Especially look at the last post on the first page - shows side by side comparisons. Apple should sue Samsung, especially if they're admitting it to the press (as if it's not obvious enough). I've worked with their mobile design team and when we asked about getting clearance from their legal team for things, they said their legal department was "too busy" to deal with such "small" issues.]]>May 5th 2006 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/May 5th 2006 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/May 5th 2006 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/May 6th 2006 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/May 6th 2006 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/
plus, as for "Hatchdog", it would be kind of you to name electronic goods Koreans have so-called "copied" from the Japanese/Americans. If you compare Korea's mobile phones with Japanese phones... actually, wait, there's nothing to compare. Let's look at television sets... I don't see any plagarism in design. Name me some major electronic company in the U.S.A. Hmmmm...

Don't blatently state something with no evidence.]]>May 6th 2006 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/keepin-it-real-fake-part-xxvii-samsung-admits-to-knocking-off/
Apparently the problem is that someone who was involved in designing the phone menus was lazy and decided to just use the icons that Apple uses in OS X for the phone menus.

Far as I know, Samsung actually has a legal version of Apple's ipod interface since they hired that ipod interface designer from Apple. Plus Apple is not going to sue Samsung anytime soon since Samsung and Apple are about as tight as you can get these days, between the cut-rate that Apple gets on memory chips and the mp3 player chipset deal that they just inked they're like best buds.

Probably just some lazy designer at Samsung is gonna get fired hardcore though.
