Here's a blogger who thinks Samsung actually won. How might that be?
Quote:
But Scoble, ever the contrarian, shared a different view on his Facebook account:
I think this is actually a sizable win for Samsung. Why? It only cost $1 billion to become the #2 most profitable mobile company.
Remember how much Microsoft paid for Skype? $8 billion. So, for 1/8th of a Skype Samsung took RIM’s place and kicked HTC’s behind.
And …
I bet that RIM wishes it had copied the iPhone a lot sooner than it did. So does Nokia, and HTC and a raft of other manufacturers I bet. Samsung is a much healthier company than any of those BECAUSE it copied the iPhone.

Interesting take. A billion dollars to become #2
