Hahahahahahaha so the truth is finally out that Apple tried to copy Sony when designing its first phone. Also its also pretty evident they copied Sony Vaio design elements for their Macbook Pro and Macbook air. And also blatantly copied the chicklet keyboard design as if they came up with it first.
Such a shame !!! Apple and Samsung are the biggest copycats in the history of consumer electronics.

I would suspect that all OEMs examine their competitors' offerings and Sony had brought out some wicked designs in the past.

So, Apple "slavishly" copied Sony's designs?
One could say they also copied LG's Prada design.

I don't think Sony could ever be accused of copying the iPhone or iPad in any of it's gadgets, no single home button, no metal strip etc.
Here is a link to the Trial Brief, quite interesting, although I'm not sure Samsung's argument is at all watertight.

apple may got inspired by sony's style, but the truth is that sony could have never pulled off the design of the iphone 4
calling it a copy, is just plain ignorant

Its a warning to Apple to shut up and stop whining about Samsung etc. or Sony will have to kick them in the arse. If one day all phones are banned except for the iPhone, I'll get myself a carrier pigeon rather than get bullied into buying that junk. Competition forces companies to innovate and improve, Apple haven't done much to the iPhone in a while so they plan to remove the competition. I'm sick of their crap.
