iPhone sam kupio nakon Nokie 5310, jel nisam znao niti sam tražio nešto drugo osim iPhona, da je jak (može da mi ispadne), da mogu muziku da slušam, da mogu na net, igrice i čitanje da ubijem dosadu, i tako. 240 eu i nije neka cena za kurčenje.

Već drugi put pišeš jel tamo gde treba da stoji jer. Ispravi se, molim te, grozno je.

530 do 700 фунти није 240 евра

QuoteApple confirmed yesterday that the iPhone 5 will be released on September 21. Unlocked, the phone will cost £529 (16GB), £599 (32GB) and £699 (64GB). Prices will be lower with a contract and providers are likely to issue prices for those very soon.

530 do 700 фунти није 240 евра

Кретање цена је прича за себе, већ сам мало писао о томе. I9000 с 16 гига меморије купио сам по набавној цени мало пред излазак двојке, рецимо у марту прошле године за 350 евра. У продавницама му је цена била 550-600 евра. Мени је лично сметало то да ми се по џепу тумба уређај који "вреди" толико, али сам проценио да би ми такав уређај послужио и да, вредело је купити га. Али НЕ БИХ дао 550-600 евра. Ту је штос. Зато су за мене ово статусни симболи. Јер заиста не видим шта то нови уређаји, прецењени, доносе толико ново да би их требало купити. А тек шта учинити са старом, претходном, сасвим функционалном машином?

Гледам, сад I9000, мени функционална и корисна машина, кошта 250 евра. Нов. Али наводно. Пријатељ преко кога сам "галаксија" купио и који ради у фирми која је увозник прича да продавци раде следеће, а то наслућује по томе који се резервни делови наручују... Увозник сад доста продаје маске за телефоне. Продавнице откупљују старе телефоне и само препакују електронику, ресетују систем и то продају као ново. Никад не треба куповати апарат из излога или са полице или из отворене кутије, мада мислим да се и те кутије лако могу наћи, а они жигови фалсификовати.

Но, хајде да кажемо да је ово земља где су преваранти ионако на сваком кораку, али и даље остаје мени нерешиво питање - чему куповина новог модела сваке године, а који не нуди ништа револуционарно ново? Статусни симбол, не може ме нико убедити да није. А ове рантове је заправо изазвало извештавање с промоције "ајфона" на РТС-овом сајту, као директан пренос, у толико сати десило се то-и-то. То раде само кад су утакмице, ратови или неки важни политички обрти. Јбт...    Ако Епл или одвашњи заступније није платио скривену рекламу.

sorry na oftopiku, ali moram negde da napisem da je skandalozno sto 8 nekih hemikalija - koje su potrebne mom ex-labu-  kad bi narucivali u srbiji kostalo oko 4500 evra, a kad ih narucujes u becu, kostaju 2100. a tek poludim kad uzmem u obzir kakva je disproporcija u kolicini para koja se za research dobija tamo i ovde. nikako da lociram ko uzima toliku proviziju, nemoguce da carina i transport kostaju toliko. mislim, za ove moje, kupujemo u vienni, al ne do ti bog da moras da dilujes sa nasim spediterima i uvoznicima i vec kim.

Ма које царине. Ево, горе ти је егзактан податак. 350 евра, царињен телефон, оригинал паковање, све по пе-есу. У продавницама и до 600. Разлику од 250 евра поделе увозник и продавац. А тек оне персонализоване форе, ограничена и фенси издања... Ту су зараде астрономске. Добар ми је то пријатељ и често га виђам, па ми прича. Нисам запамтио који нови телефон су добили у "хелоу кити" варијанти, цео контигент је плануо за неку бесну лову. Има се-може се, али то је већ друга прича.

Како ја схватам ствари, рачунају да не постоји широко тржиште и онда се циљају купци који новац имају. А и лакше им је да зараде 250 евра на продаји једног комада него да зарађују 50 евра по комаду, па морају да их продају пет. Веће је цимање.

Pre nekoliko godina kad sam uzimao Nokuju 5310, u najavi da izlazi u avgustu je stajala cena 160 eu (na stranom sajtu), kod nas se pojavila tek posle nove godine sa početnom cenom od 250/260 eura, a do tad je napolju opala cena za dvadesetak eura. Ima još gomila primera, preko patika, odeće, knjiga itd.

iPhone 5 Misses Standardisation Opportunity

Quote
Perhaps more concerned about renewing its grip on the accessory market than avoiding more pointless electronic waste, Apple has apparently reneged on its 2009 commitment to the European Commission to use the micro-USB standard in its future products.Published 17:00, 14 September 12In amongst all the details of Apple's new phone and the incremental improvements it has made on earlier designs, one change that I'd been waiting for stood out. With this new design, Apple has finally followed the rest of the industry and mothballed the proprietary charging and data connector they were using, with its distinctive -- and presumably patented -- 30-pin design.

I'd been expecting some change following Apple's involvement in an industry standardisation activity a few years ago; Apple signed up to use the micro-USB standard along with everyone else, and were the last to make the switch away from their proprietary connectors.
Environmental ConcernsThe standard involved arose out of concern by and co-ordination from the European Commission. Every manufacturer of mobile phones was using different approaches to delivering effectively the same function - 5 volt power plus high-speed data connections to computers.

The result was bad for pretty much everyone, creating endless redundant gadgets with each phone generation, none of which were compatible with other phones. In particular, consumers were faced with the need to carry multiple chargers if they carried multiple devices, and with the premature redundancy of peripherals that connected to the phone if they switched brands. Manufacturers, hopeful their spin on the same idea might win the accessory market lock-in lottery this time, continued to churn out new variants on connectors with every generation.

To avoid pointless extra electronic waste -- as well as provide the convenience it would create for consumers -- the European Commission strongly encouraged the industry in 2007 to agree a standard for power and data connectors.
The result in 2009 was a pair of new industry standards - CENELEC EN 62684 and ETSI EN 301489-34, which together finessed the pre-existing micro-USB standard and set it as the new standard for phone power and data connections in Europe. Aware that such standards need a little help to get established, the European Commission went on to seek a Memorandum of Understanding from all the important players. Everyone - including Apple - agreed to set 2011 as a target for implementation.
As the phone market is fairly fast-moving, every other manufacturer easily met the deadline. Despite the long notice period, Apple stuck with its proprietary connector, and even the iPhone 4 retained it. So a change in connector in 2012 came as no surprise.Lost OpportunityThe only problem is, Apple has reneged on that commitment to the European Commission to change to micro-USB like everyone else. Instead, they have introduced a completely new proprietary connector. Dubbed "Lightning", it is quite unlike any other connector in the industry. But it appears to only offer power and data connections -- with HDMI via a dongle, which is also possible with micro-USB -- while forcing customers to once again either carry two chargers or spend money to buy an adaptor that is only useful for Apple phones.
Yes, they are offering to sell customers an adaptor. But that doesn't actually achieve the waste reduction objective they signed up for; in fact it creates more electronic waste for the future to deal with, in the form of adaptors that only serve a single device family. More than that, the fact it's an option extra undermines the ubiquity of the standard.
Why has Apple done this? Nokia, for example, innovated with wireless charging but still kept the micro-USB connector in the Lumia 920. I asked Apple to comment, but so far they've failed to do so. Apparently Lightning doesn't offer compatibility with earlier iPod/iPhone/iPad accessories either, even via the 30-pin-to-Lightning adaptor they will be selling, so I can only guess that they cherish the power to junk earlier accessories and then create an exclusive after-market in new accessories using their -- once again presumably patented -- proprietary connector. Locking customers in - and competitors out - appears to be a higher priority for Apple than honouring standardisation commitments or avoiding unnecessary electronic waste.

There is something magical about Firefox OS

Quote

Over the past year and a half I've been spending more and more of my time working with Mozilla's latest project, Firefox OS. During that time I've fallen in love with the project and what it stands for, in ways that I've never experienced with a technology platform before.

Let me be perfectly clear; Firefox OS is the start of something huge. It's a revolution in waiting. A breath of fresh air. A culmination of bleeding-edge technology. It's magical and it's going to change everything.What is Firefox OS?For those of you wondering what on earth I'm on about, let me bring you up to speed.

Firefox OS is a new mobile operating system developed by Mozilla's Boot to Gecko (B2G) project. It uses a Linux kernel and boots into a Gecko-based runtime engine, which lets users run applications developed entirely using HTML, JavaScript, and other open Web application APIs.
>Mozilla Developer Network

In short, Firefox OS is about taking the technologies behind the Web, like JavaScript, and using them to produce an entire mobile operating system. Just let that sink in for a moment — it's a mobile OS powered by JavaScript!
To do this, a slightly-customised version of Gecko (the engine behind Firefox) has been created that introduces the new JavaScript APIs necessary to create a phone-like experience. This includes things like WebTelephony to make phone calls, WebSMS to send text messages, and the Vibration API to, well, vibrate things.

But Firefox OS is much more than the latest Web technologies being used in crazy ways, as awesome as that is, it's also a combination of many other projects at Mozilla into a single vision — the Web as a platform. Some of these projects include our Open Web Apps initiative and Persona, our solution to identity and logins on the Web (formally known as BrowserID). It's absolutely fascinating to see so many different projects at Mozilla coalesce into a single, coherent vision.
I'll leave the description there as this entry isn't about explaining the project in fine detail, though more information can be found on the Firefox OS pages on MDN. I definitely recommend checking them out.Why Firefox OS?So you might be thinking, "This sounds great, but why use JavaScript to build a phone?" And you'd be right, that's a really important question to ask. The good news is that there are plenty of reasons why this is a good idea, besides making Web developers weak at the knees.
The two major reasons are that Firefox OS fills a gap in the mobile market, and that it provides an alternative to the current proprietary and restrictive mobile landscape.Closing a gap in the mobile marketIt's no surprise to anyone that smartphones are often ridiculously expensive, even in areas of the world that are perceived to have high levels of income. But if you thought they were expensive in countries that have the disposable income to afford them, consider for a moment that a 16GB iPhone 4S costs the equivalent of £615 in a developing market like Brazil — that's over £100 more expensive than the same phone in the UK!
Now, those inflated prices in Brazil are mainly down to high levels of import tax. Apple are apparently working to avoid that in the future by building local production lines in the country. Regardless, it points out a key issue in that expensive, high-end devices aren't always an option in all areas of the world. Let alone the fact that in some societies you might not want to publicly brandish a phone the price of a small car.
So what do you do if you want a smartphone experience without shelling out a stupid amount of money? You could turn to the cheap Android devices but they tend to run poorly.
Fortunately, this is where Firefox OS comes in...

The goal of Firefox OS isn't to compete with high-end devices, but to offer entry- to mid-level smartphones at feature phone prices.
>Bonnie Cha

Firefox OS fits this gap in the market perfectly. It offers a smartphone experience on cheap, low-end hardware that is comparable to an Android experience on mid-range hardware. That is not a joke.
For example, I am currently testing JavaScript games on a Firefox OS device that costs £50 (arguably, a very low-end device). You may expect them to run pretty poorly but they not only run much faster than the same games running in an Android browser (Firefox or Chrome) on the same device, they run as fast, if not faster than the same game running in an Android browser on a much better device that costs 4 or 5 times as much.
Why the huge performance improvements over browsers in Android on identical devices? It's because of the lack of stuff going on between Gecko and the hardware, meaning things like JavaScript can run at full pelt. So much for JavaScript being slow!
This JavaScript performance on such cheap hardware is one of the reasons why I'm convinced that Firefox OS is the beginning of something huge.
I should point out that Mozilla isn't necessarily launching with a £50 device, it's just one that we're currently using for development and testing.Providing an alternative, open platformThe second reason for 'Why Firefox OS?' is that it's an attempt to not only provide an open alternative mobile platform, but to stand up to and try and influence the big proprietary mobile players to change things.

Mozilla's mission since its outset in 1998, first as a software project and later as a foundation and company, has been to provide open technology that challenges a dominant corporate product.
>Steve Lohr

Mozilla is attempting to replicate its success with Firefox, in which it stormed the browser market and showed users that there is an alternative, one that lets them be in control of how they use the Web.

This time, it's the mobile Web that's threatened, not by Microsoft but by Apple and Google, the leading smartphone platforms. With their native apps, locked-down platforms, proprietary software stores, and capricious developer rules, Apple and Google are making Web technology less relevant.
Thomas Claburn

On mobile, one of the main areas that needs improving is application portability...

For all the excitement around mobile apps, they seem a step backward in one respect: they tie users to a particular operating system and devices that support it. The Web, by contrast, evolved so that content is experienced much the same way on any hardware.
Mozilla, maker of the Firefox Web browser, is determined to make the same thing true for smartphones.
Don Clark

What Firefox OS aims to do here is to use the native everywhere-ness of the Web to provide a platform that allows applications to be enjoyed on a mobile device, a desktop computer, a tablet, or anywhere else that has access to a browser. Wouldn't you want to be able to pick up your Angry Birds game on the desktop where where you left it on your phone? I certainly would!A hackable dream for developersOne final, extra reason why Firefox OS is needed is that we don't really have a comparable hackable mobile platform at the moment (you can sort of customise Android but it's not easy).
Because Firefox OS is constructed using HTML, JavaScript and CSS it means you only need basic Web development skills to reach in and completely change the device experience. You could literally change one line of CSS and completely change the way the icons on the homescreen look, or re-write some core JavaScript files that handle phone-calls.
It's truly a platform for developers and I'm most excited about seeing where they take it beyond Mozilla's vision.Perfect timingSomething that I've been fully aware of during my year-and-a-half at Mozilla is how fortunate I am to be here for the beginning of the Firefox OS project. If I remember right, it was announced (as Boot to Gecko) internally during my first few weeks on the job.
Things were exciting back then but boy have they become even more exciting over time. Firefox OS is literally the number 1 thing that I'm working on at the moment and I honestly love it, I actually feel privileged to be a part of it.
I've wondered many times if this is how it felt to work at Mozilla during the initial launch of Firefox; the excitement, passion, nervousness, and inability to explain quite how amazing it all is and why people should care.
To be honest, I don't think many people will truly understand what's happening with Firefox OS and why it really matters until long after it has launched. A little like Firefox, I suppose.
For now, I'm happy to be at Mozilla at a very interesting point in its life.Blown mindsThe people who do get it right now are the developers that have been hands-on with the demo devices that occasionally come with Mozillians to events. There's not much I enjoy more than watching their expressions as they go through the various stages of emotion while playing with the devices...

• It starts with mild confusion — a sort of 'Why have you just given me an Android device?' look

• Following confusion is sudden realisation that this isn't Android, it's built using JavaScript

• After a short while the excitement starts in a sort of "Holy shit!" mind-blowing moment

• A while longer and they're deep in concentration, exploring every corner of the device and asking lots of questions

• The last stage is slight reluctance as I ask for the device back and a final "That wasn't half bad, I'm impressed!" as they hand it over

[/list]You'd think I made that up to make things sound all rosy and amazing, but I honestly get those exact reactions from so many people that I show the devices to. It's actually quite funny.
What I've come to realise is that the more I see others play on a Firefox OS device the more I'm convinced that it's a real game-changer. It just seems blows minds left right and centre, with barely any explanation needed from me.Plenty of challengesIt wouldn't be fair to talk about the greatness of Firefox OS and the things I'm working on without covering some of the challenges that we need to solve.
On one side there are the more general issues, like how to manage an apps ecosystem that's open and unrestrictive, or possible device fragmentation like there is with Android. Those issues are important but are ultimately uninteresting to me.
However, what I'm most interested in is the challenge we have with HTML5 games on mobile devices — both the perceived and very real performance issues that developers often complain about. This is by no means an issue specific to Firefox OS (Android and iOS are just as bad) but right now I'm purely focussed on Firefox OS and how we can improve things there.
As it stands, the majority of pre-existing HTML5 games for mobile either run really poorly (0—20FPS), or sort of alright (20—30FPS). Most of the time these games don't run at a stable frame-rate either, which makes the experience not very enjoyable.
What's interesting is that a lot of the issues don't necessarily seem to be with the device or with JavaScript. There are a few intense games, like Biolab Disaster, that perform stunningly on even the £50 low-end device that I'm testing on — we're talking between 40 and 60FPS.
It's definitely clear to me that, although the devices and platform are sometimes to blame (not as often as some would like to make out), there is a lot we can learn from the games that do perform well on the low-end devices to see what techniques they're using and how best to educate other developers looking to target HTML5 on mobile devices.
I truly believe that quite intense HTML5 games can run well on mobile devices, even low-end ones. Why am I so confident about that? Because people are already making those games today. There are 2 things that I trust most in my life... my eyes.
We'll get there.Beyond the mobile phoneWhat excites me most about Firefox OS has nothing to do with the mobile device that we're launching next year but is instead about what the future holds. I touched on this earlier when talking about Firefox OS being a hackable dream, how others could take it and extend it beyond Mozilla's vision.

The great news is that this is already happening today. We already have a port of Firefox OS for the Raspberry Pi, as well as one for the Pandaboard. They aren't perfect, but what's awesome (I've tried so hard to avoid that word) is that this has all happened before Firefox OS has even reached it's first release.
You also have the ability to run Firefox OS via a desktop client on Mac, Windows, and Linux. While not giving you the same hardware access as you get on a device, the desktop client allows you to benefit from the other features of the OS (like apps running in separate processes) and is fairly easy to set up.
I can just imagine a day in the not-to-distant future where the Gamepad API has landed in Gecko and can be accessed via the Firefox OS desktop client. What's so cool about that? Well it's not a giant stretch of the imagination to see that desktop client being run on a device connected to a TV, with the OS customised to use gamepad input instead of mouse and touch (it's all JavaScript, remember).
What you'd have there is the beginnings of a HTML5 games console, and it's actually something I'm keen to explore in my 'free' time outside of Mozilla.
My point here is that we're coming to a point in time where devices can now be powered by the same technologies that we would normally use to build websites. What could we do with a world full of devices powered by those technologies, that can all access and communicate with the same APIs?
I'm desperate to see what that world looks like!

Apple Makes a Wrong Turn as Users Blast Map Switch

The criticism poured in world-wide as users of the new maps found misplaced labels for businesses and landmarks, cities with missing roads and erroneous features like a fractured river in Ann Arbor, Mich. A search for the Golden Gate Bridge yielded a marker roughly four miles away in San Francisco.


But more than an embarrassment, the misstep highlights Apple's challenge as it takes on Google and others with Web services.


Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said the company knows its map service is a major initiative and designed it so that it would get better as more people use it.


Hahaha! Korisnici treba sami da popune mapu

Riot breaks out at Foxconn's Taiyuan plant, reportedly over guards beating up a worker (update: confirmed)

Quote
News just came in that workers at Foxconn's Taiyuan plant have started a riot in the wee hours in China, and that police forces are on site to control the crowd. While the motive isn't clear, Sina Weibo user Li Tian reports that the riot isn't related to the recent anti-Japan protests, though judging by his photos, much damage has been done in the process. The same site suffered from a strike back in March over salary dispute -- the front-line workers failed to receive the promised pay rise. On a similar note, Foxconn's Chengdu plant also had a riot in June, but that was apparently due to an argument between some workers and a local restaurant owner.
Update: We are seeing unofficial reports claiming the "2,000-people" riot was triggered by security guards hitting a worker at 10pm local time.
Update 2: According to a provincial website, Foxconn's Taiyuan industrial park focuses on magnesium alloy components for consumer electronics, heat conduction products, LED lighting products, mobile phone products and magnesium alloy automotive components.
Update 3: An undercover report from August mentioned that the Taiyuan plant processed the back casing of the iPhone 5. It also highlighted the company's harsh management as well as "practically compulsory" over-time work. We don't doubt that this riot escalated due to dissatisfaction over working conditions.
Update 4: Unsurprisingly, the original Sina Weibo posts have since been deleted. At the time of publication, the author had already noticed that some of the photos were already being censored by Sina. However, the photos over at Baidu Tieba are still intact.
Update 5: Well this is interesting. Foxconn has told Reuters that there was "a fight among workers from different production lines," but the company's spokesperson said they're "still investigating the cause of the fight and the number of people involved." An official statement will be released on Monday.
Update 6: The Next Web has heard that there were no deaths in the incident. Here's hoping those 40 injured people will recover quickly.
Update 7: Foxconn has told CNET that production has resumed today.
Update 8: Reuters spoke to some employees who confirmed the fight between guards and workers. This wouldn't be the first time the two sides clashed in a Foxconn facility.

EU says Apple's Warranty Advertisements are Unacceptable 

Quote
The European Union believes that Apple should be investigated for the way that it advertises warranties on their products. EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding wrote to the member countries which is 27 to ask them to check whether Apple retailers failed to let buyers know about the right to a minimum 2-year warranty for products such as the iPhone and iPad under EU law.
Under EU law, companies must offer consumers a 2 year guarantee in which the consumer is entitled to replacement of the device in those 2 years if defects are found. Bloomberg was able to obtain the letter sent to the EU which contains the following statement:

Apple prominently advertised that its products come with a one-year manufacturer warranty but failed to clearly indicate the consumers' automatic and free-of-cost entitlement to a minimum two-year guarantee under EU law," Reding said to ministers in the letter, "These are unacceptable marketing practices."

Now, Apple does have their warranty obligations on their website which can be found here. However the issue isnt that Apple is honoring the warranty, it is that they are not making consumers aware of the Law and almost disguising that it even exists. Some would argue that it is the consumers responsibility to know the law, however it is also the merchants responsibility as well.
Companies that are found in violation of this law can be taken to court and have sanctions levied against them. Just last year Apple was found to be in breach of European Law by an Italian regulator, Apple appealed and still lost and had to pay €900,000  or $1.2m USD.
Now, I do firmly believe that Apple should make consumers aware of their rights as a consumer while purchasing their products. Apple is a large company and has the resources to educate buyers. Apple also states on their website that the Law protects consumers only a purchase time but the AppleCare warranty will protect the consumer and device after purchase.
We do not expect this to end quietly. What do you think? Should Apple be held responsible to help educate consumers?

Foxconn workers on strike over iPhone 5 production, labor group says

Quote
October 05, 2012, 4:03 PM — Thousands of workers went on strike at a Foxconn factory in China on Friday, bringing some iPhone 5 production lines to a halt, a labor rights group said.
The strike at Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory began at 1 p.m. local time and involved 3,000 to 4,000 workers, according to New York-based China Labor Watch, which said it received its information from workers at the plant.
The workers are upset about stricter quality-control requirements introduced for the new Apple smartphone, the labor group said. They are also upset at being made to work through a Chinese national holiday this week, it said.
  "According to workers, multiple iPhone 5 production lines from various factory buildings were in a state of paralysis for the entire day," China Labor Watch said. It also reported that quality-control inspectors were attacked.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment and Foxconn, based in Taiwan, could not be reached for comment. It was not possible to confirm independently the number of workers striking.
It wouldn't be the first disruption at a Foxconn plant in China. Last month, 2,000 workers rioted at a factory in Taiyuan after what workers described as aggressive behavior from security guards.
This latest incident followed tighter rules to prevent tiny indentations on the phones and scratches to the phones' frames and back covers. The new iPhone 5 is said to be more susceptible to such markings.
A fight between workers and quality-control inspectors resulted in some injuries and people being taken to the hospital, China Labor Watch said.
"They have such high expectations for these products, even if you raise the demands a little bit it makes a huge difference to the pressure on the workers," Li Qiang, China Labor Watch's executive director, said in an interview.
He last heard from workers at the plant late Friday night and the strike had not been resolved, he said.

Heh... Eplova pobeda na sudu protiv Samsunga deluje sve klimavije. Integralna verzija Samsungove dokumentacije pokazuje da zapravo ne postoji instrukcija "kopirajte Apple" nigde u njima. I još mnogo detalja ovde.

Apple To Run 'Samsung Did Not Copy iPad' Ad In UK: Loses Case Against Samsung

Quote
Apple has lost is appeal in a UK court against Samsung's Galaxy Tab. The court of appeals has upheld its previous judgment that Samsung did not infringe on any Apple design. The judge had said that 'Samsung products were not as cool as Apple'.
The previous decision had come in July. Colin Birss (sitting as a Judge of the High Court, UK) had said that Galaxy Tab does not infringe upon the design of Apple's iPad. The judge said that Galaxy Tab is not identical to the iPad even if there are some similarities but that doesn't account to design infringement. The judge actually criticized Samsung's design by stating that they "do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design."
Apple has not only lost the appeal but also its face. According to the order Apple will have to run an ads in leading UK newspapers as well its own website stating that Samsung did not infringes its products. To ensure that the ad is visible the court also ordered that the text of the ad must not be in a font size smaller than Ariel 14. Apple will have to run the ad on its site for a period of one month.
According to BBC, "The appeal judges decided not to overturn the decision on the basis that an Apple design-rights victory against Samsung in the German courts risked causing confusion in consumers' minds."
This is yet another jolt to Apple which has already lost in courts of Appeals in the US against both Samsung Galaxy tab and Galaxy Nexus.
