The war continues between Apple and Samsung on you designed what. I think the two Corporations should merge, since consumers love them both. If they were to merge their technologies, who know what type of smarter phone we as the consumer may get in the future.
ReplyDeleteNow they have come out with two new devices that complicates the market more. Galaxy Note II and the Ipad mini. I wonder if the Andriod and Apple technicians for designers will ever come to the technical point of merging their strategics together.
