yeah...looks like an iphone.

apple didnt invent touchscreen but did launched a smart phone with fully integrated touch screen on a mass scale. all these new samsungs and other touch screen phones came after. in business..thats what you call 'time to market' ...you gamble with a new concept and if works...you lead that market segment being the first one.

the iphone's touch screen is or was different than any other phone on the market as it's capacitive and works with the electric current from your body where as conventional ones use actual physical input. That is what makes the iphone type screen so highly regarded and now copied. Its accurate and sensitive and no stylus is needed

If you're refering to Samsung's time to market, then 'Time to market' does not refer to copying another product's features after the initial concept was released. It refers to the length of time to get the product from blueprint to the store's shelf, and any measures taken for or against it to ensure that timeline does not slip.

If you're referring to Apple's time to market, then it's not really relevant cause that refers to more of a first mover market strategy.

well, 5.4 million devices in the last quarter when nothing new like the bold, etc. has come out yet is pretty positive.

I'm looking forward to see how many are sold once they are released.
