Apple vs Samsung vs Motorola

As everyone already knows, Apple is suing Samsung for infringing upon the look of the iPhone 3G, along with multiple other suits. This, in turn, has created a hurricane of discussion over whether Apple is making the right move.

Regardless of the outcome, Samsung is finding itself in a not-so-great situation. This lawsuit will either tip Samsungs piggy bank into Apples pocket, or/and it will completely ruin the relationship between the two giants. And based on the fact that Samsung has a major role in building the toys at Apple, this would be a huge kick in the kahunas. Either way, Samsung is screwed.

Fortunately, I have the answer for Samsung, when it comes to the portion of the lawsuit over the physical design. All they need to do is sue Motorola.

The Motorola Atrix 4G, which can be found on the AT&T network, is an exact replica of the original line of Samsung Galaxy S phones. From the four in-screen buttons, which all perform the same functions, to the placement of the rear facing camera, the phones are nearly identical.

My point here is that Apple may have started World War 3, as I could spend all day pairing up phones with similar designs. I'm not discrediting any allegations of functionality thievery, but nearly every smart phone in our fine world is related to the next, in one way or another.

Samsung is shaking in its boots today, but Motorola better keep a watchful eye out, along with every other brand on the market. Theres a huge amount of infringment going on in the world of cell phones and if Apple walks away on top, we'll be talking real soon about the next allegation.

For the mean time, watch out Motorola, I just let Samsungs dog loose in your front yard.
