Galaxy Nexus Designed To Avoid Infringing Apple Patents

Posted by Unknown on from the samsung-looks-away-guiltily dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an except from an article on Geek.com about the Galaxy Nexus: "Samsung has been on the receiving end of many an Apple lawsuit in recent months, and in some cases a ban on selling its products. The Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which was unveiled last night, could also come under close scrutiny in the courts once Apple takes a look at it. But unlike previous Samsung Android devices, the chances of that happening are apparently going to be diminished or even non-existent. Shin Jong-kyun, the president of Samsung's mobile division, admitted yesterday that the Galaxy Nexus has been developed taking into account Apple's patents."

    If companies suing each other over patent issues leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you might want to just abstain from using cellphones at all.
