Thus far, and admittedly this is anecdotal evidence, the vast majority of the flying public has weighed in and they give the idea a big thumbs down. Well, Samsung has certainly had an interesting week. Seven days or so ago we took note that Apple and Samsung were heading back to court to settle the patent infringement penalties that Samsung would have to pay Apple for copying its original iPhone 3 designs - something Samsung no longer denies doing.
