Many of the news posts mention the phrase "Apple’s minimalistic design". In fact a Bloomberg news post goes on to talk about Apple's design patents in Europe.
These do connote something significant in-lieu of the fact that samsung was involved in a large way in manufacturing components for Apple;
Meaning it had lot more internal information about Apple
If it was just about a rectangle, Apple could have easily gone after Motorola/Archos/Dell etc.,
Or even most of the pocketpc tablet makers could have buried Apple.
And if it was just about weight reduction, then motorola could have released a less heavier Xoom. That it didnt could be because it doesnt have the knowledge that samsung "possibly" used.
Personally, I would like to see the Tab released, maybe after some sort of out of court settlement.
But who can really talk sense to rabid dogs?
