I found a secret feature in MS Paint which allows you to create the patented design of the iStuff:
It's easy to see why this cost millions to design, had someone knighted, and is the basis for many legal battles, right?
The point of the article is not for Sony to go trolling after Apple but for Samsung to actually start selling their devices as they should've been able long time ago. Oh and.. £uK YOU Apple.
Apple will soon be instructing Watercooled to remove their design rectangle from his post or face court action.
I'll never but an Apple product no matter how good or how cheap they become due to their ridiculous patent policy. If they were a car manufacturer they'd be suing everyone who made cars with 4 wheels and a steering wheel.

The motor industry is an amazing example of how look, feel and style has to be copied in a modern competitive world. Its full of cars that has stolen ideas from other cars and it is accepted as normal.
Thing is people still aspire for that original creation the spawned the true design, people respect and look to it inherently as 'the best' which is what makes it so important to be the first, not the only.
Which seems to be what apple are struggling with and getting left behind. They spend all their time whinging and moaning that they should be the only ones who are allowed to use a design which has now become common practice, they are forgetting that it still needs improving and development.
The 4S was an underwhelming launch, and if the images of the 5 are fairly accurate i think that is set to be quite similar ordeal. People will buy it in the thousands but im starting to wonder, have they run out of new ideas?
Bah. I thought Sony had joined court battles and was suing both Samsung and Apple for billions!
