APPLE AND SAMSUNG STILL NOT GETTING ALONG

By: Rene Dial

In a court room show down of I showed you mine now show me yours Samsung is requesting that Apple reveal their latest Iphone and Ipad projects.

Apple and Samsung have been going at it for months now.  Apple is claiming patent and copyright infringement then Samsung countersued.  According to LosAngelesIBTimes.com Apple is Samsung’s second biggest customer accounting for about $5.7 billion in sales.

Why would Samsung fight with their second biggest customer and Apple with one of its main if not its main supplier?  Samsung produces the Galaxy Tablet that uses the Android software and is taking more of a bite out of Apple’s Ipad sales.  Apple of course needs the chips that Samsung produces.  The patents that Apple is claiming that Samsung is infringing is the pinching and zooming technology and the likeness of the Ipad’s black background.  We will keep an eye on this one to see who blinks first.

Both of these companies need each other and are supposed to be in talks outside of the courtroom.
