Beyond The iPhone, Why Apple Sues Samsung

Experts predict that Apple’s iPhone 5 will be the best selling smart phone of all time, and could even boost our GDP by 0.5 percent. But Apple might be intending to take an even bigger bite out of the market, by going after every device maker in the smart phone market.

At the end of the day, not everyone will buy an iPhone, but most people are expected to buy a smart phone. Although the Samsung and Apple trial dominated the news as of late, the real reason why Apple might be going after Samsung is to indirectly cash in on the success of Android and its open ecosystem.
