Apples Purple Concept For iPhone Gets Sony-Inspired Designs Thrown Out Of Patent Trial

iPhone-purpleJury selection is starting today for the patent trial between Apple and Samsung that has already resulted in the release of tons of early Apple iPhone and iPad prototypes designs. But one design holds particular interest: an iPhone concept called "Purple." The phone isn't actually purple (it's white), but the big news is not the color - it's the date of the creation. To counter Samsung's charge that Apple copied Sony's smartphone and Walkman designs when it created the iPhone, Apple filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the NorthernDistrictof California which shows the Purple concept was from 2005 - before Sony's Nishibori Design, developed in March 2006.
