As I said in another thread, I think Samsung is fed up with Apple's antics and are pulling out all the stops. Particularly in their recent ads:

They should sue. I don't think IP owners have a case myself -- and if they thought they could they would.

Well, I thought it was effective in showing that there is an alternative with more functionality. Some people seems to buy iPhone just out of habit or because of the perceived lock-in.

PDAs like the Palm OS devices and the Pocket PC devices like the iPaq are the real prior art for modern smartphones. Regarding litigation, Palm no longer exists to do any suing, having been bought by HP. Presumably any Palm OS patents were transferred to HP, but by then they'd developed their new system, webOS. There's been speculation on whether HP have grounds for litigation within those ex-Palm patents, but I'd agree with you that unless something amazingly generic had been granted it's likely that there's no serious infringement within iOS or Android.

I find it funny that the speculation about a mini iPad from a while back was centered around Apple sticking to the same aspect ratio. |

No, he doesn't use cases. Or have accessories.
He says he like size as was and that it was perfect. Just outside of warranty, Apple just gave him a brand new 4S to replace one he accidently injured, so with care he will be ok for a few years before having to change. |

Yes. I mean he will not be forced off of smaller form factor for a long time.

There's still a place for those aspect ratios, but for a media consumption device I strongly prefer 16:9. |
