What does it say about your product if "it is likely to lose substantial market share in the smartphone market and to lose substantial downstream sales of future smartphone purchases" due to the use of one very basic, simple, almost never-used feature like search?
Clearly this judge was paid off. We're not talking about the web-search or voice-search functionality in android. An entire phone was banned because it could also search txt messages and apps in your drawer. Thats it. Does anybody here ever even use that shit? I cant name one time it was ever important that I issue a global search on my phone, through all my sms, my email, my apps, and my history, just to search for a single word. In fact. I actually DISABLE the global search option because it's annoying and pulls up useless results. 99% of the time when I issue a search on my phone, it's to search the WEB for something.
Cant believe an entire phone was banned over something so trivial, and that a judge could sit there with a straight face and say Apple could lose billions of dollars because nobody would want their overpriced garbage just for this single feature.
