Really Harry? Are you insinuating that Samsung didn't innovate anything and simply blatantly copied the iphone? Have you used a Samsung phone recently? There are tons of features that are missing on iphones - things are not black and white, all companies innovate, and all companies get inspiration (or copy, if you prefer) from others. Apple is not innocent of the copying, and they have so much as said it clearly - Jobs was open about stealing ideas.
