This smartphone wars is been going on since 2009, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone_wars ! And I'm guessing it will be for a very long time!

Samsung won the same case in Seoul: http://o.canada.com/2012/08/24/samsu...inged-patents/
Apple Inc. vs Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_I...onics_Co.,_Ltd.

As for me, I would never ever buy an Apple product, never liked any of it (I got friends who have iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and even Blackberry...and they prefer to use Samsung and Blackberry over iPhone haha.. and some of my friends are selling their iPhone to buy Samsung Galaxy S3 hahaha )...Keith's planning to get a Samsung Galaxy S3 on his contract renewal and I'm overly jealous of it!
