In Wake of Samsung Verdict, HTC Does Not Intend To Settle

    I have a lot of stuff on my android devices that aren't ad supported. I've had ad supported stuff on an iPhone. Overall, I'd have to say, I like the feel, smoothness and flexibility of an Android device significantly more than the iDevices out there.

    Seriously? I've heard many arguments on why people like Android over iOS, but I've never heard anyone claim "smoothness." Even the newest builds of Android after 'Project Butter' are still significantly more laggy than iOS. Google made a mistake by rushing their touch interface after they saw the first iPhone. It was poorly done and needs to be completely rewritten.

    "It's a phone and tablet operating system that's on more devices. That's why more people buy it."

    Fixed that for you....

    You realize a common sense post like yours will quickly be downmodded as flamebait, trolling, even off topic? Slashdot is no longer interested in intelligent dialogue. They are all in a frenzy over 'rounded corners'. It's a little sickening.

    I suspect a good number on here haven't even looked at the patents found to be in violation, let alone what trade dress is. At this point I've given up on any attempt to discuss it. It's like a liberal guest on Fox News. Pointless.

    Yes we have. And as such, think the iPhone should be banned from sale because it clearly copied the LG/Prada phone.
