Oh, there was also the little incident where foreign phones were blocked from South Korea, including the original iPhone for two years.

- scotty79 14y agoCan you point me to some news coverage of this? So far I've found: http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-seeking-block-sales-upcoming-iphone-korea http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-seeking-block-sales-up... Article claims it was just mirroring of Apple court strategy. I don't know if that's the same thing here: http://www.firstpost.com/tech/south-korea-court-bans-both-apple-samsung-products-428602.html http://www.firstpost.com/tech/south-korea-court-bans-both-ap... But if so then it didn't turn out particularly good for either of the companies. There was also a bit of government protectionism in South Korea http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125367616595333125.html?mod=djemalertTECH http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125367616595333125.html?mod=... but I think you can't attribute this to Samsung offensive action.
