After years of trials, retrials and let’s face it, much poo flinging, the Samsung vs Apple monkeys have finally come to a settlement. That is, on ONE of the cases they have in court against each other at the moment anyway… Given that Apple was initially after $1.08 billion we guess that $548,176,477 is not so bad really, but bear in mind that this Samsung payout to Apple is related to the very first patent infringement suit lodged in California against the Korean giant, and there were plenty more filed after that, so we guess the battle is really only just warming up with this latest win for Apple.
