Samsung Withdraws Counter-Suit Against Apple

tekgoblin writes "Samsung has withdrawn a counter-suit against Apple in their ongoing legal battle which concerns similarities in the iOS device lineup against the Galaxy S lineup from Samsung. The counter-suit concerned the design of the user interface being very similar to that of Samsung's: 'related to fundamental innovations that increase mobile device reliability, efficiency, and quality, and improve user interface in mobile handsets and other products.'"

Well, guess what Samsung

My current phone is a Samsung
My next phone is going to be an iPhone

Do you know why? Because

1 - Your POS sw called Kies is only avaiable for Windows
2 - Your POS sw called Kies is worse than iTunes
3 - You manage to screw up updates of a FREE, READY TO USE sw
4 - Cyanogen people kick your ass FOR FREE
5 - You screwed up the baseband on the phone, it doesn't work correctly
6 - Google, fix the GPS sw, it takes ages to sync

iPhone can do that

If you do not like the stock manufacture-themed flavor of Android on your phone, you can use an app like Rom Manager to change to a different one. Can you do that on an iPhone?

Of course, If you jailbreak, you have many flavors of UI tweaks you can make.

With no OS tweaks, and using just the stock Samsung ROM on the Captivate, battery is on par with any other smartphone.

Three days without charging? That's what I get from an iPhone 4, on average.

Your statement is not what I've ever heard ANY non-technica, Android user ever say. Or for that matter many technical users.

From replacing your text messaging software, to the soft keyboard, to the camera, to the email client, to the browser, to the system launcher... Android gives you choice.

So does the iPhone. Most users will have more choice on an iPhone because of the greater range of applications. Technical users that only consider forms of system modification to be "choice" are just as well served by jailbreaking, in fact even more so since many mods are simply alterations of existing apps that work pretty well, instead of whole new applications.
