This could be good for the consumer in that it will force non-Apple companies to potentially come up with something totally innovative and revolutionary that looks nothing like an iPad or iPhone.

Long: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT

I would love to see the whole world go thermonuclear on apple for being such thieving anti competitive disgusting company. Every single product, every single idea that has ever come from apple has been stolen, apple has never innovated, never invented anything and most definitely never made anything. I would love to see the day when the worlds biggest con artists cease to exist permanently. Technology will accelerate incredibly without apple slowing the world down. Not that i would condone it, but i would laugh if the apple headquarters and every apple building around the world was blown up.

What people dont seem to realise is that the jury may well have found in Apples favour, however, it has to be sanctioned by the judge and given the things the jury members have been saying about how they arrived at the judgement, it is very obvious that the judge is going to have to legal overturn some of the items in the juries verdict simply because they ignored the jury instructions and " skipped " the prior art issue because " it was bogging them down ". It will most certainly be overturned so people are jumping the gun here. In addition,because Samsung's Tablets were deemed not to have infringed any of Apples, they will have the ban imposed by Apple on their sale in the US overturned and as was part of that deal, Apple have to pay costs for lost revenue. And looking at the projected revenues Samsung will have lost because of this ban, we are actually taking nigh on $1billion so the game has only just began. And remember, Motorola ( Google ) have also filed a case against Apple that could well see their products banned in the US. Patents, its a funny old game…..

tommyboy, it's pick #3, but yes, neglected in this comments thread. Apple also shows up in Kapitall's top 10 companies "most viewed" list.

Mitchell, the consumer is absolutely disadvantaged, as it was gently hinted (consumers might backlash against Apple and rush to pick up android devices. Consumers may not realize the injunction would be for older phones, not the newer S3.

Thanks for pointing out the error Riverzz, I'll ask the editor to remove that comment, as my reference about it was supposed to be for T-Mobile. As for Sprint, T-Mobile? Sprint paid heavily to have iPhone, so they are a big beneficiary today. Their debt levels and cash flow, however, remain a concern.

"As reported by WSJ, AT&T is the only carrier not offering an iPhone, hurting subscription growth."

This article is poorly written; "AT&T is the only carrier not offering an iPhone, hurting subscription growth." **News Flash***AT&T was the FIRST carrier to offer the iPhone in 2007. T Mobile on the other hand does not offer the iPhone and was not mentioned here. Neither was Samsung… If you are going to list "Winners" & "Losers" at least list them ALL!

Additionally, If you or your company invests MILLIONS of dollars in R&D and introduces a cutting edge design and/or product AND patents it AND is granted the patent then why should another person or company benefit from copying it?? Apple is defending what is rightfully theirs to defend. All of a sudden we all forget about patents & Trademarks?? Yes this will probably drag on for years and eventually get thrown out but Apple is only doing what any company would do and that is to defend their patents!
