    Samsung‘s new Chromebox which runs Google‘s ChromeOS has a familiar form factor. How else would Samsung build such a thing? considering that all small computers are built with circular openings in the bottom?!

    Samsung caught again copying Apple

    Official Samsung website for Galaxy Player 50 has a slightly modified version of the Apple iOS Maps app, directly taken from a 2008 screenshot of iPhone Maps app. Apparently, Samsung doesn’t know (or care) that although the Apple’s Maps app uses Google maps data, the user interface is designed and copyrighted by Apple since 2007.

    No wonder Apple wins injunction in Australia and Germany. Fandroid drones, what excuses do you have now? Still think Samsung using Apple’s App Store and Safari icons is an “accident”?

    Samsung using Apple’s App Store and Safari icons in their stores

    This isn’t the first time a rival to Apple has used their artwork. Recently we’ve had Samsung using icons from Apple’s App Store in the backdrop of their in-store displays, a move which once again led to much embarrassment for the firm fighting a legal battle claiming they’re copying Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

    Note: Samsung took the page down.
