how much longer will all the android makers put up with these tactics from apply before they get there acts together to crush apple in joint littigation.

Of course you are all ignoring the obvious elephant in the room - which is that Apple is winning cases because they have a case. Anybody not crippled by phobia can see that Samsung has tried very hard to make its products look as much like Apple products as possible, right down to the packaging and the icons.

Some copying of trend setting designs is OK but blatant product copying tends to get you in to legal trouble in the business world. Hence Samsung's troubles.

The quickest and easiest way to halt all these legal cases is simple - company's like Samsung should stop copying Apple and stop including features that Apple has a patent on. Then all the lawyers go away. Magic.

That sounds a lot more tangible and relevant than "hey your stuff looks like ours!".

Wrong. The real elephant in the room is Apple's patents on vague and generic design terms aren't valid and never should have been granted in the first place. Germany and Australia? Big deal Tony. They only filed there in the first place because they knew those courts were sympathetic. Only thing that matters in the end is where this goes in the U.S courts.

I have a better solution; I'd be the judge, show Mr. Cook his buddy's Picaso quote, remind him he owns the tablet market, then tell him to stop whining like a b|tch and grow a pair.
