I bought a PPC-6700 in 2005. It was manufactured by HTC. It was rectangular with rounded corners. It can function as a video camera, a camera phone, a portable media player, an Internet client with email and web browsing capabilities, and can send texts and receive visual voicemail, and has both Wi-Fi and cellular data (2G and 3G) connectivity. It also can be used to connect other devices to the Internet and has a touch screen. Unlike an iPhone it has a physical slide out QWERTY keyboard.

Around two years later the first iPhone came out. It had a better screen and improved operating system. At first the Windows Mobile Operating system had far more applications, but the iPhone eventually eclipsed it. The first iPhones did not have 3g connectivity. Still, the iPhone was an evolutionary improvement over the PPC-6700. They took what the PPC and other smart-phones did and made improvements and marketed them better.

This lawsuit is such a crock. The only thing that it proves is that the jury pool in the USA is made up of easily manipulated fools. The end result will be stifled innovation and higher prices. 12 idiots just stole a billion dollars from Samsung which is one of the most innovative companies in the world and gave it to Apple the largest corporation in the world.

Just another stage in the Kabuki dance up to the USSC. The only money shelled out until that time will be to lawyers.
