Apple’s efforts to ban the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 has hit
a snag, as the reworked version which is known as the Galaxy Tab 10.1N
has just been given the go ahead by a German court to hit store shelves.
The redesign of Samsung’s tablet was a move by the South Korean
manufacturer to find ways to bypass a sales ban which was imposed by a
German court in September last year, and Apple, obviously not too happy
with the outcome, decided to challenge the new version – and lost.
The
state court in Duesseldorf mentioned that there were “clear
differences†between the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and the iPad, although the
tinted glasses which Apple sees through probably do not
notice said
differences. The long courtroom drama does not seem to end as both
behemoths slug it out, but ultimately, don’t you think that a
particular manufacturer should have more than enough confidence in
one’s products that even if its competitors are “inspiredâ€, those
will not measure up to the original? I am glad that the Galaxy Tab 10.1N
got the nod in Germany, it would be a pity if Apple were to suffocate
all the other companies and exercise a monopoly on this genre of device
worldwide. We consumers win out in the end if companies were given a
fair chance against one another, as they will do their utmost best to
deliver the ultimate device that technology can provide at that time.
