What happens to my Samsung phone? Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) design and software claims involved scores of Samsung devices, including the Nexus S 4G and S II.

As a result of the ruling, Apple could request an injunction against the Samsung devices that were found to have infringed on its patents. That means Samsung could be forced to take those gadgets off the market until they are changed.

If you already own the devices in question, though, don't worry: Even with an injunction, no one can pry the phone out of your hands. But it's possible that your phone could receive a software update that tweaks how it looks and works.

What about my Samsung Galaxy tablet? This category offered one spot of good news for Samsung: The jury ruled that Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablets did not infringe on Apple's design patents for the iPad.

Will we see any changes to future phone and tablet hardware? The verdict strengthened Apple's design identity, and competitors may now be afraid to even toe the line of the iDevices' "look and feel."

Google responds to Apple v. Samsung verdict: most claims 'don't relate to the core Android operating*system'

In the wake of Friday's $1.049 billion jury verdict, Apple and Samsung quickly released statements to the press — but one company that remained conspicuously silent was Google itself. The company has now provided us with a response to the decision, stating that "The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims."

Google stops well short of adopting Samsung's own strident language, however; in fact, it appears to keep the matter at arm's length, saying that the claims involved "don't relate to the core Android operating system." We've reproduced Google's statement in its entirety below.

At Apple they are such hypocrites. Steve Jobs used to say that stealing is fine. Now that they are on the other end, the opinion of Apple has suddenly changed.

Steve Jobs never said stealing was fine. Did you listen to the context that quote was in?

Kiii. Yas google

What the actual ****?

I'm so made that Apple won, software wise all the features that apple had was already made available in existing phones, so basically the iPhone just compiled of featured that was successful in other products. As for the physical design features, it is obvious that the trend is a full touch screen, once again apple was not the first to do so, if the Samsung could be accused of copying, I guess then all other phones/tablets should be triangular.

Don't forget Samsung is THE supplier of apple's processing chips, I'd LAUGH if Samsung cuts them off, and Apple has to invest a huge chunk of R&D for new products

Samsung copying the Air keyboard

No. He said it, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Period point blank. He stole ideas throughout his career and it's fine.

It's Harvard business knowledge, they teach stealing. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but when you are an under-appreciated Asian Company, up against the largest, most profitable, company in the world, you are bound to lose.

That's all to be honest.

I'm not a Apple fan but I hope they sue all the other little copycats too . Except Microsoft, but they couldn't do that if they wanted to.
