Apple isn't successful because they have a crapload of patents, they are successful because they build a great product, a great brand and a great ecosystem. This Apple win helps Apple marginally and hurts the consumer significantly. To be honest, I'm not sure why fanboys even like this - Apple products improve when there is competition, and all innovation is iterative.

Translation of Apples pathetic attempt to compete, not by innovation, but by litigation - Waaahan, Samsung made a better phone, quick call my lawyers.

Also, patent for rectangle with rounded edges, or slide to unlock! I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's next patent is on how to wank. That should make it some serious dough

wow... I didn't even know Samsung was selling cheap iPhone knock-offs. I thought they were just selling phones that had similar look and feel to iPhones (and others) and used similar UI as iPhones (and others).
