Apple Demands Ban on US Sales of Galaxy

Tech giants continue to duke it out in court

(Newser) – As Samsung's stock plummeted crazily today, Apple was busy kicking its rival while it's down a billion dollars or so: The Cupertino tech giant today filed papers asking a court to extend a ban on US sales of Samsung's cell version of the Galaxy, reports Bloomberg, in response to Samsung's request yesterday that the ban be lifted. Samsung also said it was looking to recoup losses it suffered since the ban was wrongfully enacted June 26.

“While the cellular version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was not included in the verdict form, it is not colorably different from the products that the jury found to be infringing as to some Apple utility patents, and thus should be covered by an injunction against sales of products that infringe those patents,” Apple's court filing read.

You know I was just about to switch from my android to the new iphone 5 and after seeing this I think im going to get a new samsung galaxy 3 before i cant get one. Its a shame that Apple would do something like this and the phones dont even look the same. Obviously the samsung is much nicer and larger, the iphone maybe good for women or little tiny guys.

F**K Apple, this is a free market society and they are trying to monopolize the market.
