Blimey...

"A court has banned sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in the US while it decides on the firm's patent dispute with Apple.

Apple has claimed that Samsung infringed its design patent and copied the look of its popular device, the iPad"

Looks like the gloves are off with the big boys Shows what a lucrative market the tablet one has become. How we've moved on from IBM clone PC's

(sigh), another law suit apple is involved in. I can understand that they are upset, I mean the two devices are similar, but seriously, why the tablet and not some of their smartphones? There is one or two I can think of that look similar to my iPhone4.

Hello,

Copying a design and infringing a patent are two totally different things.

Lots of companies manufacture PC's but they all look the same!!! Who owns the patent?

This is an example of Apple 'throwing its toys out of the pram'. No surprise there for the technology equivalent of scientology.

The slimy lawyers will be happy.

I'm sure you guys have heard about the recent cross patent lawsuits currently going on with Apple and Samsung. Interesting as they provide some parts to Apple.

What makes this interesting is that there is going to be a jury led trial. Can't wait to see the outcome of this:

Think this sorry is pretty funny:

BBC News - Apple ordered to re-write 'inaccurate' Samsung statement

Another day, another patent course case.

Certainly had not heard about this. Not really a fan of tablets...but going to be interesting to see how thing shake out.

Think Apple has been told to change the statement on the press release that they placed on their website.

Just hope that there will be less patent court cases as it sometimes that they is more time, money and effort spent on going to court than the trying to advancing the technology.

Well being a Samsung Galaxy Fan i disagree. It has distinctive features from iphone and ipad. Well this is only because Steve Jobs is having a trouble competing so he is making a fuss!

Many believed that, but for the case to go to court, there had to be some merit in what was said about the two. From the Galaxy products I've seen on TV, there are some striking resemblances in bot the phones and tablets.

That being said though, there are a lot of other phones that look similar, look at the Xperia for instance, Apple hasn't gone after them yet. I guess it will all depend on Steve's successor in the end, as to what happens from here.
