Why doesn't Samsung "innovate" and build a better touchscreen instead of copying someone else. Innovation != copying someone's work and making marginal improvement. Apple didn't copy the Palm Treo or the Blackberry when they built the iPhone. They saw what those products could and couldn't do, so they made something better. THAT'S innovation. Samsung's copying Apple isn't innovation, it's lazy. Consumers don't benefit from "me too" products, unless we treat all technology as a commodity.
