The Galaxy SIII is still available and basically the same phone. Seems like there are just too many Android devices for Apple to block them all, they're just picking on the Galaxy Nexus to take a pot-shot at Google directly.
Despicable. That's really the only polite word I have for both Apple's actions, and the current state of our patent system.
Compare Android to Windows Phone, Android tablets to the Surface, and the Lumia to the Galaxy Nexus. Google and their partners could have taken the high road and created their own take on what a touch screen phone OS is, but instead they took the low road and did a wholesale look and feel copy and paste job of iOS to get scale. Copying look and feel isn't actual wrongdoing, but it's certainly not the high road. Now A…
First of all this makes me want one even more. Secondly I wonder if Steve Jobs would have cancelled this BS? I've been curious about Android development for the nearly four years I've been doing iOS development. I'll start porting my free ad-supported app to Android now. Bye Apple!
What? Apple's aggressive use of patents started on Jobs' watch. He crowed about Apple's patents in keynotes. He swore (on record to his biographer) that he was going to destroy Android even if it cost Apple every penny they had. Why in the world would you think that he would be cancelling this, or any other kind of patent action?

Apple claims your product is a serious competitive threat. What better stamp of quality approval can you get?
It seems like the patented feature in question is pure software available on other Android phones.
Sigh. I've been planning on getting a new notebook and was leaning toward one of Apple's products... but this has shifted me away. I know, I know: no one cares about nerd ideologies. But I'll do my part and lower their monthly revenues by 0.00001%.
I used to think Apple's success was great for us consumers because it's more choice, and competition is why companies are innovating in the first place, right? But this latest injunction made me realize, if I give money to Apple, there will be less competition and not more. They're unfairly anti-competitive and will use any immoral hole in legislation to make sure consumers have no options. To make sure there is no competition. That is driving innovation backwards, not forward. Summing the pros and cons. Their own technological innovation is not worth their effort to stop the whole rest of the world from innovating. Their balance to the world is on the negative.
I'm not gonna give money to a company that is driving humanity backwards. My 0.00001% missing contribution will have the same value as my vote for the country's president. I'm voting with my wallet.

If they actually cared about the similarities, they would have picked a fight earlier on.
They only pick a fight now as the successor is competitive enough to win some cash off, so it's less risky.
I have no respect for anyone who does this. Fuck them.

Same for me. Been looking to replace my dell notebook and was looking into the Macbook Air with ubuntu as the alternative. Was just comparing prices and specs on the Apple's website last week. I used to think Apple's success was great for us consumers because it's more choice, and competition is why companies are innovating in the first place, right? But this latest injunction made me realize, if I give money to Appl…
