Apple, do you really need 1.05 Billion Dollars?
I am a believer in consumer choices. I own my fair share of Apple AND Samsung products.
I will have to disagree with the jury verdict. The last thing we need is monopolization. I think competition KEEPS you strong... it forces innovation.
I enjoy going to the cereal aisle and choosing from thousands of cereals. They all have the same basic ingredients, but they're all slightly different and we are free to choose which one we feel like eating.
If I make a lemonade and sell it in my front yard, and my neighbor makes a lemonade that tastes better than my lemonade next door, then it will force me to introduce new items, like strawberry lemonade, or even lower my prices buy 2, get 1 free.
This is USA. How are we forgetting that competition is a part of freedom? I understand protecting patents and granted if something looked and performed just like the other, it would be an exact copy, which is a no-no. I own a Samsung Galaxy II and I've owned the iPhone 3GS.. They're NOTHING like one another. I actually like BOTH phones for different reasons. It must've been a grueling case.
