Apple's innovation was dumbing down the devices. Apple's brilliance was reducing functionality to make them simpler to use and fit the available hardware at the time. SJ's marketing genius is undeniable. |

Apple is the great innovator of our time --- when it comes to marketing, of course! The iPad is kind of nice (it would rock if someone hacked it to run Windows 8 or Android), but the iphone is a really old hat. And now they have given up even trying to stay close to the others in development and just concentrate on the courts. Absolutely brilliant.

The daft thing about that Google email and this trial is that as you say the jury were very swayed by it. Sure looks like a smoking gun.
But let's look a little closer at this email, shall we? Quote:
The email is about the look and feel of the Galaxy Tab vs the iPad. And yet the jury ruled that the Tab did not infringe on the iPad's design. So why was this taken as a smoking gun for the phone infringements? Graham |

The UI on the iPhone and the iPad is exactly the same. Do they differ between Samsung phones and tablets?

But that's not the point: the jury ruled that there was no infringement here. It's inconsistent. Graham |

Some of the simplifications did make sense in 2007-2009, but now hardware has progressed beyond the limitations of that time. |
