Also compared are the iPad/Tab, and all of their packaging, as in the lawsuit.

It’s because they have the lowest pricing, not even close to the second-tier suppliers. With the earthquake in Japan, there is no way Apple could keep their current product prices without leaning more heavily on Samsung to keep supplying them with low priced high quality chips. Do some basic research before u babble like a monkey. “But maybe they don’t know that saying in Asia”? That statement alone shows your ignorance.

Instead of showing the widgets like HTC and Motorola, in all the promo shots I’ve seen, they have the home screen filled with app shortcuts which makes the UI very iOS looking. The point though is that this type of home screen is optional on the Galaxy phones where on the iOS it’s mandatory. The bottom part of touch wiz UI is not a dock. The icons are static not dockable and one of them opens the app tray which is something iOS doesn’t even have. The app tray does scroll sideways instead of up like most other Android devices but, again, iOS doesn’t have an app tray.

So is the iPad2 not just copying the tab?!

FFS Apple – get off your high horse and stop being such petulant pricks about everything
