"Samsung will pay Apple $548m in damages - but then fight to get it back Samsung has agreed to pay Apple $548m in damages over iPhone patents. But the five-year legal battle is far from over." -- ZDNet. Actually, it is. Samsung's only recourse left is appeal to the US Supreme Court for reversal but it is unlikely it will be heard, as there is no inter-court conflict to adjudicate and Samsung has lost on ever appeal. -- PING!

I'm wondering if this might put a dent in Samsung's bottom line. Might affect their R&D budget, market share... Not sure if that'd be a good or a bad thing. They are a major player in Android, but they mung-up their phones with all kinds of non-standard stuff. I'm actually thinking of ditching my Galaxy S5 next time around for a "more standard" Android.
