Samsung might not have tried to copy the iPhone

Well thank goodness that imgur albums can't be submitted as evidence in court. I'm curious about a number of those images- when did Samsung ever use the Apple dock connector (or something that looks like it) on their phones? When did they copy and paste an iOS screenshot onto their phone?

That's the Galaxy Tab 30-pin dock connector, and you can see it compared to Apple's in the third slide of this iFixit teardown: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Tab+Teardown/4...

Interesting, thanks. This is why the imgur album really isn't very useful- there's no context/citations.

It's based on a 30-pin PDMI connector standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI) but modified by Samsung to be used on the Galaxy Tab
