Apple Blocks Sale of Galaxy Tab 10.1 In Australia

Posted by timothy on Monday August 1, 2011 @05:09PM from the about-that-rent-we're-seeking dept.

lukehopewell1 writes "Apple has obtained an injunction from an Australian court effectively blocking the sale of the new Android Honeycomb-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v. Apple Australia claims that the unit infringes on 10 of the Cupertino, California-based company's patents including the slide to unlock functionality as well as the edge-bounce feature. Samsung will provide Apple Australia with three units for study in coming weeks to ascertain whether or not the Korean gadget maker did in fact infringe on Apple's patented intellectual property."

Just go away Apple! by therufus · 2011-08-01 17:28 · Score: 0, Troll

Apple haven't made a decent product in years, they can hardly be called innovators, they're just a marketing monster. And when someone does something vaguely distasteful to them, they sue them. Maybe Apple is just a branch of the Cult of $cientology.
The fact that Apple have such market share is proof that society is slowly getting dumber and dumber.
