A bit of Karma..... [Apple must run Did not Copy Ads in Britain]
Perhaps one shouldn't laugh but it is rather funny
http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2...-copy-iPad-ads Is this like doing 100 lines for being naughty a school. I must not tell lies I must not tell lies I must not tell lies I must not tell lies |

Another version of name and shame and Apple brought it on themselves.

You just know that they will manage to put a positive spin on the advert...
'Hey, the Samsung Tablet isn't as cool as the iPad - how could they have copied the design?' |

You'll have noted, I'm sure, that the judge ALSO said that the reason that Samsung weren't in violation was that the Tab wasn't as "cool" as the iPad. I'm sure that any "shame" Apple may feel will be more than assuaged by the fact that they can now claim "we're cooler than Samsung - the courts have said so!".

Tubemonkey, I know it's a joke and one should never analyze jokes, but I wonder how long it took to set up the Sammy to look like that. That's sure not how it looks out of the box, nor how any normally-configured android device looks.

I have no idea. The funny thing is, the iPhone in the pic is a 3G and it came from an article about the iPhone 4.
