This image, tweeted earlier today by AllThingsD’s John Paczkowski, gives us a clear look at Apple’s entire case in their patent holy-war against Samsung. If this looks convincing to you, it shouldn’t. The iPhone was unveiled in January at MacWorld 2007, but barely a month later, Samsung took the lid off their QWERTY slider, the F700 which one could easily say, shares an awful lot of aesthetics to the original iPhone.

Oh, and let’s not forget the LG Prada phone that was also announced in January of ’07 (same month as the iPhone). It too shares a striking a resemblance to Apple’s “unique” slate device. Are we somehow supposed to believe that Samsung and LG built an entire device in 1 months time? Not likely… not even for Samsung’s elves and their nimble little hands.
