Και για μια ακόμη φορά φαίνεται πως δεν υπάρχει αυτό που ονομάζουμε ‘παρθενογέννεση’…
Όπως λοιπόν γράφεται τις τελευταίες ημέρες, η Samsung έχει ανοίξει νέα σελίδα στη διαμάχη της με την Apple, με όπλο της τη… Sony! Διαβάζουμε:
This isn’t speculation — an Apple employee copied Sony’s design, circulated it to his bosses, and testified to these facts in court.
From now on, when anyone heaps phrase on Apple’s design excellence and superlative innovation, just point and laugh. Some of us have been saying for years that what Apple is really good at is ripping off other peoples’ ideas and stealing the credit for them with slick marketing. This, right here, is the proof.
Αυτό είναι ένα σχετικό τμήμα από το Samsung’s pre-trial brief (PDF):
For its part, Apple’s “revolutionary” iPhone design was derived from the designs of a competitor — Sony. In February 2006, before the claimed iPhone design was conceived of, Apple executive Tony Fadell circulated a news article to Steve Jobs, Jonathan Ive and others. In the article, a Sony designer discussed Sony designs for portable electronic devices that lacked buttons and other “excessive ornamentation,” fit in the hand, were “square with a screen” and had “corners [which] have been rounded out.” Right after this article was circulated internally, Apple industrial designer Shin Nishibori was directed to prepare a “Sony-like” design for an Apple phone and then had CAD drawings and a three-dimensional model prepared. Confirming the origin of the design, these internal Apple CAD drawings prepared at Mr. Nishibori‘s direction even had the “Sony” name prominently emblazoned on the phone design, as the below images from Apple‘s internal documents show:
Και όλα αυτά όταν το TheVerge έγραψε αρκετά για την ιστορία και έριξε και τις εικόνες…
Νέα στοιχεία;
Ταυτόχρονα έχουμε και νέα συνέντευξη που αναφέρει η Samsung, μια συνέντευξη στο Businessweek των δύο σχεδιαστών της Sony που προσθέτει και νέα στοιχεία.
Από την άλλη η Apple έριξε το δικό της σχέδιο από το 2005 για να ξεκαθαρίσει πως ήταν πρώτη στη μάχη του σχεδιασμού. Και όλα γυρίζουν…
Αν δεν βαριέστε την όλη ιστορία, δείτε και τα όσα γράφει το allthingsdigital…
