          I agree. Apple should stop suing anyone who is a potential competition. Geeez, what's this world come to? We should be working to make things better, not trying to put others down.

            Apple is scared of the Galaxy Tab, cause it's very good and pose a significant threat to the iPad. That's why they're trying to stop its sales. No previous tablets have received this kind of treatment before and this shows how good the Galaxy Tab is.

            Long live competition. We users will benefit from it.

                  I'm sure this will convince everybody that apple is so much better and will instantly make them want an iProduct
                  /sarcasm over

                  But seriously, if you thought people hated Apple before, wait and see what's coming!

                              AnonD-16587, 10 Aug 2011I'm not sure how do you suppose to make tablet looking some... moreGalaxy S is also just all about a big screen, and just as you said about TV-monitors any phone with a big screen will always look a little like an IPhone. Everybody can clearly see the difference between Galaxy S and IPhone and as long as it does not look exactly like an IPhone Apple should not be allowed to use up cuort-resorces all over the world!

                                If people at Apple think they can force people to buy their large iphone like this, then they are wrong. No Android lover would buy an ios device with lots of limitations.

                                  If Apple is going after the designs of Samsung on tablets then why not have Nokia join the club since its one of the companies to have the Front-Facing Camera on its design and phone, unless no patent was filed then completely disregard of what I just said, shouldn't Nokia go after Apple's head ? Otherwise all I really see is competition going on. Apple is scared since they know how much the Galaxy Tab can have of its fanbase.

                                  PS: I am no android nor apple fanboy, I own an Iphone4 and Samsung Galaxy S2.

                                    yeah, every device that is thin and has a touch screen in size of 9 or 10 inch is a copy of apple's ipad!! Ha...ha
                                    what a terrible reason.
                                    It's a disaster for apple.
                                    Galaxy tab is really the best and apple can't stop it.

                                      Apple is awestruck with the fact that Samsung and Android are on the verge of dethroning it from No1 Hotspot.
                                      Apple, why dont you save your breath in bringing out good iphone 5 to beat samsung / android heads down?
                                      This act of wrecking Google Android or Samsung does not going to help you.

                                        scared cannot defend their tablet share market in the future, Apple cut the line before it happen.
                                        what Apple did, make them looks like a loser.
