A. It isn't just Apple fans claiming copying - it's Apple itself. In case you missed it, about a month ago Apple won over a billion dollars (which could be tripled as damage award - the judge hasn't decided that yet) in a jury trial in San Jose, California, from Samsung, claiming they stole Apple's tech innovations in their cell phones. In addition to a huge blow to Samsung, it's likely a warning shot to any other manufacturers who might have been considering similar ideas, potentially putting a damper on consumer choice and better prices.
Apple has always made good products that are very well accepted (to the point of hysteria). They do have good design and engineering, but, as with Microsoft, much of their most effective work has been in marketing. They appeal to First Adopters and tech snobs in general. In their early PC days, even with a superior product (easier to use, more stable) they exhibited a "not-invented-here" syndrome which caused them to look down their nose at the innovations of others. This (not just higher prices) led to their very exclusive, and thus very small portion of the PC pie. But people like exclusivity, and Apple has done quite well with this approach. The PC wars were in many ways a replay of the VCR wars in which Sony, with Betamax, had a technically superior system, but refused to license it to others. Matsushita (aka Panasonic) decided to take the other road, developing a similar (but technically inferior) system that it licensed to anyone and encouraged competition, lowered prices, and took over the videotaping world (VHS).
The problem with Apple's complaint is that you can't copyright or patent an idea - it has to be a "work" - something physical you can hold and see, and Apple is in shaky territory when it starts talking about "look and feel". But obviously jurors in California sided with Apple over the South Korean company. However, similar cases have been filed in 8 other countries, South Korea, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Britain, France and Australia, and Apple's victory there is not assured (already lost a couple of them).
So the story goes on...
But, remember - Android is free to all comers - sound familiar? It could take over the world
(a recent TV commercial for the Galaxy S III is very convincing!).
My galaxy exhibit phone wont turn on?
Q. it will get to the lodeing screen and turn off help!!!
A. This could be a boot loop. If your battery is definitely all the way charged, try using a different battery as these devices are known for some battery issues. If that doesn't work, try connecting with Samsung Kies or using Google's ADB system to your computer. If nothing shows up, what you have is a bricked phone. There are resources on Rootzwiki, XDA, and AndroidForums that could help you recover your device if that's the case, but definitely try a different battery first.
which phone should i get. I'm undecided please help.?
Q. -The samsung Galaxy S (thats the first one)
-HTC sensation
-Nokia Lumia
-Samsung Exhibit ll
A. That's a tough one.. Okay, imagine a table with these 4 phones. Now, follow your imagination as you read this.
First, kick the Galaxy S out if the picture, that's a phone from 2010. Now you have the Lumia, Sensation, and Exhibit II (a Galaxy S II phone, Galaxy S II is 2011). If the Nokia Lumia phone is not the 900, then forget about it. (if it is, and you like Windows Phone, then stop reading and go buy it). If you have just kicked that off the table, your are now left with the Sensation and the Exhibit II. First, are you willing to do any cool hacks to make your phone even awesomer than it is? If so, go for the Sensation. If not, the Exhibit II. But wait, hold that thought! Do you like updates? In that case, go for the Sensation.
Hope a didn't confuse you here :)
