Seriously, this is outrageous. I ordered a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and it just arrived today. Here’s a photo of the box next to the box for the iPhone 4S that I got a couple months ago. Can you tell which one is which? I know I can’t. (I’ll just tell you. It’s the one on the right.)
Things only get worse when you open them up. Look at this shit. Samsung, have you no shame? How do these people keep getting away with this crap?
Probably a good reason for that:

“Now, however, thanks to statements made by Samsung’s president of mobile, Shin Jong-kyun, we know that the entire phone was designed around Apple–specifically to avoid future legal battles.
Shin spoke to the press before the launch, and noted that Samsung’s plans from now on include avoiding “everything we can” in terms of patent battles with Apple, and that it is taking “patents very seriously.” The whole field is complex and it can prove hard to identify infringing patents, according to Shin, and the firm is working to make the Nexus “100 percent free” from Apple lawsuits.”
It’s great to see Dan write another facile and smug post, only to be swiftly slapped in the face by the first commenter.
Thanks, Brian Ford, for doing the five minutes of homework Dan seems incapable of.
Vince, did you consider that maybe the post was a joke? You know, not meant to be taken seriously?
such a useless and foolish post. A good website given to a kid i guess.
Yes, this Real Dan Lyons blog was much better before they gave it to Dan Lyons, what were they thinking?
from the size of that sucker they might have to worry about it infringing on the ipad, imagine putting a case on that, is that a brick in your pocket or are you just happy to have bought an iphone 5 instead.
oooh, thanks for pointing that out. Now that I think of it my Samsung TV looks a lot like my Apple TV.
Whoops, I wasn’t supposed to mention that Apple set. Can you just pretend I didn’t say anything?
and when both the screens are off, they’re both… black! shameless!!
