Whether or not you agree that Samsung (005930) is the ?shameless? copycat?Apple (AAPL) has repeatedly accused it of being, there is no denying that the South Korean technology giant has borrowed a few pages from Apple?s playbook. If the design elements in its devices and the launch of features like S Voice and Blocking Mode rolling out on Samsung phones immediately following Siri and Do Not Disturb aren?t telling enough, this 132-page internal Samsung document is pretty damning.?Of course, Apple is hardly innocent in all this and has borrowed from plenty of companies?in the past as well. The latest chapter in this tiring tale came Tuesday as Samsung unveiled its new Wallet app for Android.
