Thread: Steve the Ninja's last stand.

He's not going down without a fight.

SEOUL, September 5, 2011 - South Korea's Samsung Electronics said Monday it has withdrawn its new tablet computer from a major electronics fair in Berlin after a German court accepted a complaint from US rival Apple.

Samsung Sunday removed its Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch from the annual IFA show following an order Friday from a district court in Duesseldorf banning sales and marketing, a company spokesman told AFP.
“Samsung respects the court’s decision… and therefore decided not to display any more the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the IFA,” the company said in a statement.
Samsung however vowed to take “all available measures, including legal options” to defend its presence in the European market, saying the court ruling “severely limits consumer choice in Germany”.
Friday’s move by the Duesseldorf court follows an interim ban in late August on German sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1. That ban remains in force until the court makes its final ruling on Friday.
Samsung — the world’s second-biggest mobile phone maker — is embroiled in a series of patent lawsuits with Apple over designs and technologies in their smartphone and tablet computers.
Apple, in complaints filed to courts in several countries, requested a ban on the selling and marketing of Samsung smartphones and tablet PCs, which it said had “slavishly” copied Apple’s market-leading iPhone and iPad.
Samsung has launched counter-suits, claiming Apple infringed its wireless technologies.

I read an article last year about how, when Apple releases anything, certain people employed by the opposition make sure they are on the doorstep of the shop on the first day. They go to extraordinary lengths to do this. Then they race off and take it apart, and as they are good at identifying electronic components, they list all the bits. If any are unidentifiable, they later cut them apart. They do all this in a matter of hours, in a great rush......then sell the information, if not already employed by the opposition.

saw that article yesterday on the WSJ, and I was wondering if you were in tears over it, probably

Doesn't bother me. He'll be dead by the end of the year.

So sad.

It sounds quite unlikely to me. The core of those devices are proprietary chips. You don't copy them by looking at the piece.
