The 2010 report, translated from Korean, goes feature by feature, evaluating how Samsung's phone stacks up against the iPhone. Authored by Samsung's product engineering team, the document evaluates everything from the home screen to the browser to the built in apps on both devices. In each case, it comes up with a recommendation on what Samsung should do going forward and in most cases its answer is simple: Make it work more like the iPhone." Pretty damning. We still need to know a few things: how many of these were actually implemented? How common are these types of comparisons (i.e., does Apple have them)? Are these protected by patents and the like? And, but that's largely irrelevant and mostly of interest to me because I'm a translator myself, who translated the document, and how well has he or she done the job?

I dont understand what is the fuss all about as if Samsung is the first company to EVER do this in history.
It is common place, among companies I worked for, to list all the pluses and minuses of competing products to know where we stand. We used to disassemble entire engines to know what process was used by the competitors. Samsung needs to clarify this to the jury.
Even though Apple is pointing fingers at Samsung, same could be said about them "copying" mp3 players, cameras and so on.
