not really, they always have samsung.

Luckily, and im sure for reasons like these, Mexico is an insignificant market for Apple.

So much hate for apple these days, damn. People take the companies actions so personally, and inevitably, as a strike against their preference....

However, you make it seem as though apple is the only one sueing its competitors to gain a market advantage. Samsung is sueing apple at the same time.....

They all do it, and its within their rights a companies to do so. But specifically, in the case Apple v Samsung over the the GS/GT it actually did look as though Samsung copied Apples design. Internal memos used the ipad and original iphone as reference points, and the degree of their similarity decided how acceptable they were. I remember the day the Galaxy S was released thinking, damn, this looks just like the iphone. And in fact, it was decided by the court that samsung laid out its UI similar to IOS so customers could easily navigate. Effectively using engineering to catch up with their second generation device. If someone took what my company was making at the moment, made a good copy, and quickly gained market (by refining my design) until they were at full competitiveness i would be pissed. The damages arnt just in the past, they used it as a building block and a starting point to make inroads on Apples market. A market they believe contains cheaters. You don't see them going after HTC or Microsoft. Apple firmly (probably Job's belief) that samsung is where it is, because of that cheating.

Im just stating what the jury concluded, but we will have to see how the appeal goes. All im trying to get at is, one, apple isnt trying to be anti-consumer, and two, all companies would do the same thing if they would make a case of it.
