So Samsung claims that Apple did not invent the Ipad at all? It was in a movie years ago? People are starting to call BS on all this copying they are doing!!!
"Also cited in Samsung's defence is a scene from the 1970s British TV series The Tomorrow People which appears to depict a tablet computer."

What you may not know is that Apple's original designer/idea maker of the ipad was an extra in that movie when he was young.
What do you think about that?  |

The Ipad is such a global success that it would be hard for any tablet designer to compete without "borrowing" a few ideas. There are a ton of tablets out there that may or may not have copied from Apple, but what Samsung have done wrong is to make one that is actually as good - if not better - than the Ipad.
Chairman Jobs is just doing what any good fascist would do and that is to take out the opposition.  |

Kind have to agree with this. Apple wouldn't be doing all they can to block Samsung's pad unless they are really worried about the quality of it.
It will be interesting to see how big Samsung's war chest is. |

Of course Apple made the iPad......but they certainly didn't invent the tablet computer.....tablets were made by other companies before the iPad. |

Yes, and those other companies collectively sold less than 1 million units in 10 years.
How long did it take Apple to sell 1 million iPads? |

No argument here. Apple have made the best tablet to date.......although some say the Galaxy Tab is better in some areas.
Apple were able to do with the iPad what they did with the iPhone. Take an existing format using technology invented by others and make it sexy. Style it and market it in a way that makes it desirable to non-geeks......that's what Apple do. Very successfully. |

The entire patent system as it currently operates harms consumers. |

| Pretty sure Star Trek had tabs before that 70's show. But an 'idea' and a computer are two very different things. |

All proceeds should go to the Roddenberry estate.
EDIT- So when is Apple going to get around to making the iCorder - The general scanning device based off of Star Trek's tricorder?
As for the phone lets call it what it is- A rip off of a rip off.
