I wonder if they next gone sue Samsung and say that the stylus they developed many years ago for their Galaxy range actually uses Apple patents.

They've also been awarded a patent for something changes the angle of a dropped iphone to minimise the risk of damage to the screen.

Sort of like dropping a cat.....

Stylus? What's next - a keyboard and mouse?

The Apple Newton had a stylus back in the 80's - I think that pre-dates anything Samsung make
