That's pretty much my thinking, too. The original Tab and Galaxy S came out last year without even a boo out of Apple. So, why now? Apparently, while their sales of iPhone are up from last year, their market share isn't growing as fast, and they didn't sell as many iPads as analysts had predicted. That new Galaxy Tab looks pretty slick. With this lawsuit coming just a few days before their earnings report, it's not hard to see what they're thinking.
Plus, there are rumors of Amazon's own tablet (made by Samsung) coming out this year.
However, no one is going to confuse a Samsung Galaxy product for an Apple iProduct. The distinction between open Android and closed iOS is readily apparent, and I think people are choosing based on that, or at least based on recommendations from their friends who are using that criteria. Apple is losing sales because of Android as a whole, not because of any similarities to Samsung.
