Samsung attorney: 'Apple doesn't own beautiful and Sexy'

Samsung Attorney

An attorney for the Korean electronics giant says during closing arguments in a damages retrial Tuesday that Apple's patents are "very narrow."           

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Samsung on Tuesday argued that Apple deserves a low amount of additional damages for patent infringement because Apples patents are "very narrow." Samsung attorney Bill Price said Apple has tried to show its patents cover all aspects of design and ease of use, preventing companies from making "attractive" devices that are easy to use. However, the patents are limited, he argued, which is why Samsung should only pay Apple $52 million for patent infringement, not the $380 million Apple has requested. "Apple has tried to mischaracterize these patents so they are the iPhone," Samsung attorney Bill Price said during closing arguments in a court here. But "these patents are very narrow. ... Apple doesn't own beautiful and sexy." He added that while Samsung knew it needed to alter its devices to compete with the iPhone, Apple has done the same thing with new devices like the iPad Mini. "There's nothing wrong with looking at your competitors and changing what you do because of it," Price said. Meanwhile, Apple attorney Bill Lee argued that Samsung's patent infringement significantly harmed the company and that the electronics giant deserves an additional $380 million for that damage. He noted that Samsung's copycat tactics helped it gain significant market share while other rivals struggled. And he said the patent infringement set back Apple. "Apple can never get back to where it should have been in 2010," Lee said Tuesday during his closing arguments.

Archos 97b Titanium

Archos 97b Titanium

Just as the Archos 80 Titanium was, shall we say, a homage to the iPad mini, so the Archos 97b Titanium is the French manufacturer’s take on the iPad 4. There’s no mistaking the influence of Apple’s tablet in the physical design, and the 97b Titanium even packs in a Retina-esque display, with a 9.7in diagonal, the same 4:3 aspect ratio and an identical resolution of 2048 x 1536. Yet where the cheapest version of the current iPad costs £399, the 97b Titanium is available for under half that price. How has Archos managed this, you might well wonder… Design Surprisingly, it hasn’t done it by skimping on build quality. The Archos has a plastic frame behind the glass screen and a plastic back, separated by a slim strip of chrome (or at least chrome-effect). The plastic on the rear has a little flex, but not much, and the whole construction feels surprisingly solid for a large screen budget tablet. The rear has two grilles for the speakers at the top and bottom of the tablet, plus the rear-facing camera sticking out in the top-right corner. At 650 grams the 97b Titanium is too heavy to hold one-handed like a 7in tablet for any length of time, but it’s a good size and weight for use on the move. I’d think about investing in a case first, however. Neither the screen nor the body seem particularly scratch-resistant. Physical controls are limited to a volume rocker and a power button, while connectivity is basic too. There’s a socket for the proprietary AC charger, a microUSB port and a headphone socket, but no HDMI output or anything more advanced. You do, however, get a microSD card slot, which you’ll need to boost the rather pitiful 8GB of onboard storage provided.
