It's similar, but has one fundamental difference.

The Apple vs. Android holy war spans many different devices, user interfaces, brands, packaging methods, and advertisements. Some Android phones copy the iPhone/iOS more than others. For example, I feel that the Galaxy S1 absolutely tries to copy many key aspects of iPhone and iOS, down to the device appearance, UI appearance, packaging, and marketing (in terms of visuals). However, I don't feel that many other phones (such as the Galaxy Nexus) resemble the iPhone to the amount that Apple wishes it did.

In contrast to that situation, this EA vs. Zynga battle is over one specific product, with defined features and aesthetics.




But raganwald wasn't talking about the "Apple vs Android holy war". He posted specifically about Apple vs Samsung which is about specific products.
