Samsung don't have a case, and never had one... They're just gaining time to establish a dominant position on the Android side. They will eventually bend over, and they know it.
For those FRAND patents, it's said they asked 2.4% on each iPhone sold, and for each one of their 13 patents... That was a stupid move, it will backfire big time...
Apple just nailed it by offering a license on their low-level patents, showing who's the sensible party here...

Fog extends its arms over a vast tropical forest. Animated navigation graphics appear on the landscape. We are in a low flight. Slow traveling in long curves over the canopy.
successive inserts of a closing clearing, at shorter successive intervals.
reverse shot in the clearing, a giant, almost perfectly round rock stands in the mist.
camera closes on the rock while ascending.
On the top, in a meditating posture, stands Deckard. Eyes closed. Seemingly absent. A white dove sleeps on his thighs.
we hear machinery sounds around, then voices, people are giving orders in short bursts. A futuristic scale is put on the giant rock, army shoes climb.
Slow traveling on Deckard's back, a hand enters the frame and press an electronic device on nape of his neck.
Reverse shot. Close. Deckard's eyes slowly open. Awakening from a long stasis. While the camera slowly backs off with Deckard looking straight into it, the dove takes a slow motion flight on a majestic, misty forest background.
Top of the now empty rock. While in the back vessels launch in steam bursts and take a curve to a mysterious destination, the camera starts to climb down and pan on the right. We enter the misty forest. Out of nowhere, a unicorn run amongst the trees.

The worst thing to happen to a fantasy work sequel : the godlike urge for the author to close all open lines, to answer all questions. Closure is antinomic to good fantasy.
Yet, an all too common sin. This was predicted for Star Wars, and it happened in all sort of ridiculous manners. Hollywood being more and more Hollywood, and Ridley himself gravitating to Tony's heaviness, I fully expect the worse.
A year or two ago ? When Apple was a quarter of what it is now ?
Have you any proof of a threat Google ever was for Apple, or are you just bragging ?
What you want is not the biggest market shares, it is the good ones... Google's good shares are the ones bringing advertisement, Apple's ones are the ones bringing upfront cash.
Surprise, so long, cash proved much more monetizable than advertisement.
The only threat here is Freetardism opposing Fanboism.
Yes he was. The genius of Steve Jobs is to give a direction to geniuses like Woz. Without a Jobs telling them how to focus their minds, these people tend to fool around mounted on a Segway, designing toasters for Phillips, or writing half-baked code for advertising companies disguised as tech ones.
