iPhone 4S quickly jumps to second-most popular camera phone on Flickr

By Josh Ong Little more than a month after arriving on the market, Apple's latest handset has already become the second-most popular camera phone on photo sharing website Flickr, behind only its predecessor, the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S passed up its older siblings the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, as well as the HTC EVO 4G, the only Android phone on the list, to take second place among camera phones on Flickr, MacRumors pointed out on Monday. The iPhone 4 still maintains a sizable margin on its successor, though that gap is, of course, expected to shorten in coming months. http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/11/22/iphone_4s_quickly_jumps_to_second_most_popular_camera_phone_on_flickr

Apple vs. Samsung: A Visual Guide to Apple’s IP Claims: Hardware, Icons & Packaging | PeanutbutterEGGDirt.com : Technology, Gadgets & the Business Therein

Taken individually, Apple’s claims may not look like they have much merit. For instance, one of Apple’s trademarks includes, “The mark consists of the configuration of a rectangular handheld mobile digital electronic device with rounded corners.” Another states, “The color gray appears as a rectangle at the front, center of the device” (the screen). It probably isn’t hard to find prior art of rectangular handheld mobile electronic devices with rounded corners and a screen. But put them together in the same configuration as the iPhone – the rounded corners at the same radius, a grid of colorful square icons with rounded corners, with the bottom 4 set apart on a silver background, and the whole device surrounded by silver edges – and the merit of the claim begins to focus. There are plenty of ways to design a phone, and nothing before the iPhone could have possibly been mistaken for an iPhone.
