The Full Court of the Federal Court upheld Samsung's appeal against the injunction obtained by Apple which restrained the sale of the Galaxy tabs.
The decision is
available online now. One minor caveat: the court stayed the judgement until 4:00pm Friday to allow Apple to file its foreshadowed appeal to the High Court.
I should clarify; this is not a decision on whether the device infringes the IP of Apple (or vice-versa), this is an appeal against the injunction. Until the proceedings at-large are determined, Samsung must keep accounts of the device's sales in case it becomes relevant for an award of damages.

Just think that even if they are equal to the Apple product, an injunction stopping sales over the Christmas period would result in a windful for Apple.
That was one of the main arguments advanced by Samsung, and, it seems, accepted by the FCFCA.
All I want for Christmas is the fees in this case.

How much different is this tab from say Acer Iconia ? I'd say it would be pretty much the same yeh?
Posted 03:12pm 30/11/11
Yup.

I wish you had made a new thread about that article. It was a good read but by posting in this thread it just makes you seem like a hater. Even if this is a stupid idea for Samsung, it's still good for consumers.

Would you buy a brand new 12month old PC part for full price? No. These will most likely be lowered in price compared to what the premium would have been at original release.
In other words, apple won.
Edit:
Lol this image is retarded it's used as proof that samsung copied apple.
Edit2:
Rewrote my post into an image

would you buy a PC with the same specs but double the price? :P
the tablet is still relevant. current tablets have similar specs and won't change until Kal-el quad core tablets start coming out after christmas ... and even then, that's just the initial tablets.
but yeah, apple did win in the end. all this lawsuit nonsense was just to delay the release
