There's also the possibility that they both ended up with similar designs through a display of the convergence theory in evolution, or "
the acquisition of the same biological trait in unrelated lineages"

To be fair, Apple is a great assembler of pre-existing, but often isolated innovations . Slide-to-unlock, gestures, capacitive touch displays (multi-touch), apps launched from a launcher (iphone springboard), center-placed home button, etc . are all examples individual innovations that Apple did not invent, but assembled really well under one housing . They are great at assembling best usability practices and improving upon existing markets by doings so .

To be an assembler of best practices and innovations and turn around and sue anyone else who does the same is shameful . I was not aware that some people claimed the F700 was introduced in 2006 . I had always heard its intro was in 2-2007 . In this presentation with the reviewer, the device was buggy, but so would have been sellable handsets of iPhone after the announcement in 2007 . The one Jobs was using was a prototype with carefully presented features being shown off . Samsung is terrible at presentation and Apple is not .

There is no way that Samsung could just throw a phone together in less than one month, hardware, software, and all . Multi-touch was the inevitable evolution from resistive touch (stylus single-point), and Apple came in with a great trend-setting showing, but they did not invent any it . My Palm TX had everything that the iPhone had, accept capacitive touch, better battery technology, better flash memory, and phone modem . My TX had a virtual QWERTY keyboard that slid up from the bottom, video player, music player, decent web browser, same display ratio (16:10), center placed home button, icons laid out in a grid (alternate display in a list), and many features the original iPhone did not have (installable apps, copy/paste, Documents to Go app, etc) .

They didn't invent anything . They just assembled an impressive set of features better than others at the time . If Palm, Nokia, or any of the many others that were first with the same features had acted like Apple, there would have been no iPhone .

Who gives a shizt about F700? Reality is Samsung had the first gesture based touchscreen multimedia smartphone with a single ROUND home button introduced a year before iPhone was launched . It was on sale in Europe in April 2006 and went through FCC in August for sale in US . This phone did everything and more than original iphone . It was also far more expensive than any phone on the market . With both Front and Back facing cameras it was 4 years ahead of iphone 4 . Although Samsung was tagged as being influenced by Neonode for gesture based touchscreen, CrApple never went through the same **** even though they copied slide to unlock feature directly from Neonode and Samsung copied nothing!

The phone is the SGH-Z610 and it's the Lion that never roared because iDiots like you (Cory) failed to inform us that it was even out for sale a year before iphone . Not only did CrApple steal the single physical "Home" button, Touchscreen and Gestures from both Samsung and Neonode, but SGH-Z610 had 2 cameras, 3 . 5" screen, rounded corners, multimedia player (hence the play icon on round button vs Apple w/ universal square "Stop" icon on round button), and other features not seen in any CrApple phone for 4 years!

Who copied who? Which came first the Chicken or the Egg? ahhh . . . . right . . . . CrApple would even sue Moses for coming out with the Tablet before they did . I have thus no sympathy for either confirmed thieves (CrApple) or their fans crying about being stolen from . Because it's always the biggest thieves who cry loudest!
