I guess someone has been taking tips from Apple.

The rounded rectangular shape thing crossed the line. Let's face it.

What is it? An elongated square with round corners?Except that's not actually what they have a design patent on.

Oh right. I think they even mentioned the Nokia Lumia then they stole the design for the new ipod.Apple gave Samsung suggestions of other designs for phones. And they were just plain stupid.

Been there read that. I don't agree. At the very least it goes to show that there are many designs that are so close that it's stupid to try to protect details that are so small. I think I am more annoyed by the double standard that pops up routinely about owning a look are a design that is so trivial. 10 years ago no companies acted this way. I've said before that if Motorola made the RAZR flip phone today we would have never been able to have a hinge on a phone without a law suit. Back then things were a bit more reasonable when it came to picking fights. Apple likes picking on the small guys and is just too sue happy. They hopefully will let some of the less important things go and focus on making an iphone 6 that is a killer device.They didn't steal that design. First of all, you need to go back and look at pictures of the iPad mini, whose design predates the Lumia's, as well as the second gen nano. Second of all, the new nano's design is a stretched version of the previous generation's. there's a gif somewhere around that shows the same thing, but essentially, the new nano was the old square nano stacked two on top of each other.

Small guys? In the mobile space, Samsung and HTC certainly aren't small guys.
