"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has sued Samsung Electronics for copying "the look and feel" of its iPad tablet and iPhone smartphone. This relates to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the iPhone 3G / 3GS models, and the slightly less obvious Epic 4G, Nexus S, and Galaxy Tab (presumably the older 7-inch model, since the newer ones aren't out yet) devices.

The lawsuit was filed on Friday and seeks injunctions against Samsung, damages (both actual and punitive), and a finding that the infringement was willful.

I think the message Apple is trying to convey is "The world is copying everything we do. We are above all. We are the gods of technology. THIS IS APPLE!"

In the most recent episode, Apple believes that Samsung’s Touchwiz UI is a direct copy of the UI present in the iPhone/iPod/iPad. This will likely be an interesting debate in a courtroom when Apple tries to demonstrate that they invented one of the following concepts:

Clicking on an icon to open an app;
Touchscreen;
Icons;
Alignment in a square array;
Swipe motion to change screens;
