Apple Samsung Patent Fights, Apple walked away with $1.05 billion damage

Apple won big on the recent big patent lawsuit when the court ordered Samsung to pay $1.05b damages to Apple...

4. Design Patent 087: Ornamental design of the iPhone (white color)
5. Design Patent 677: Ornamental design of the iPhone (black color)
6. Design Patent 305: Rounded square icons on interface

Is it true that Samsung has finally lead the market? does it means apple has lost its edge against samsung? or simply the world is just waiting for the iPhone5?
