Strange conclusion considering Apple has already won several legal battles banning the sales of competitor products on German/European markets.

Seems their 'fit throwing' is indeed working as intended.



Pyrrhic victories at best. So far none of the injuctions have had significant impact on revenue for Samsung or Google. Android is already ahead in units (though not app or media revenue, Apple maintains huge leads there) and gaining market share. And Apple is burning goodwill at a staggering clip: just look at the comment tone in these threads vs. the same ones a year ago -- people who used to defend Apple's behavior are getting quieter and quieter...


Well, there's little reason to defend apple when all it gets you are downvotes.


Which is my point. I have a truckload of -10's from a year ago to show you where I was expressing misgivings about Apple's behavior. The voting, like the posting, is part of the zeitgeist. And it's moving hard in the "anti-Apple" direction.


The ban in Germany took Samsung about 2 weeks to get around, not really very effective
