Samsung Halts Galaxy Tablet Promotion In Germany
An anonymous reader writes "Samsung Electronics said Sunday it has pulled its latest Galaxy tablet from the IFA trade show in Berlin, after a German court approved an Apple-requested injunction — the latest move in a wide-reaching patent dispute between the two firms."
Apple did not invent the tablet PC, but they want to ban anyone else from making anything resembling a tablet PC.
Lying is one of apple's forte's. Remember the "can we please use the Apple trademark and we promise never to go into the music business"!
Um, your link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first, over "allegedly copying it's products".
Doubt it, those of us who value digital openess are already avoiding Apple products like the plague.

Are you serious? How much time has to pass, in your opinion, in order for it NOT to be a lie? Are your wedding vows still valid after 30 years?
. It has become so complex and relies on so many differing pieces that it is getting increasingly difficult to differentiate between products. That leaves functionality and design as a product differentiator.
That makes no sense. If things are complicated, it's easy to differentiate. It's because the design of a tablet is so simple that all tablets look the same (barring colours, and whether to round off certain edges or not).
Here's another choice Apple had: not suing other companies for using a shape that was around before the iPad..

Most consumers feel good about choosing a winner.
Thankyou. I've never heard this put quite so well before. You have succinctly defined what it is that I don't like about people who buy Windows or iDevices without ever seriously considering the alternatives.. and why the cycle can perpetuate such godawful products for so long.

"The only way someone this late in the game is going to buy an Android tabletâ¦"
25 million tablets sold. 1.1 billion people in the industrialized world. About 2.3% of the developed world population owns a tablet. That's "late in the game"?
