This is a big slap on samsung's face. May weaken android a little bit and maybe just maybe the break stephen elop is waiting for.

Bullshit because Samsung has lot a few battles in Germany, UK, and even in their homeland Korea!
Still it's a BIG smack in the face and kick in the ass for Sammy and NO stone was overlooked no documents missed except the equally purged documents on BOTH sides. There is NOTHING new in proof or details that can be brought to any world court.

Also you have NO clue the nationalities of all the jurers so stating "American" is a fallacy - you don't have to be an American citizen to be on jury duty.

Samsung is not only guilty of copying the design. I guess what where they are actually guilty of here was the INTENT of bringing Apple down. I mean...just look at the photos of iP4s & Galaxy Ace side by side, it's no brainer.

Finely, the Copycat get finally what they deserve.
All more than 12 years Samsung violation of other innovative companies why Samsung is large it is today.

And not to forget that Samsung also has had many years government support.

1.05 billion is way to low, they should at least 20 billion to pay all companies they have copied.

Melodramatic at best. The same could e said for Nokia's S60 and it was for a time maybe it was. However Samsung, LG, SonyEricsson did quite well in those days. Apple came from NOTHING till now so there will be innovations. Cyomagen mod will be the premier source and I'm super sure those developers are extremely happy of this decision because they'll get paid!!
