Galaxy may 'seduce' iPad two customers
Apple fears the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will launch on to the market "with the velocity of a fire hose" and "take away iPad 2 sales so quickly" that customers may be permanently "seduced" away from Apple's iOS platform, its lawyers told the Federal Court in Sydney today. Ref. Source 8
If this is truly the case then why should free enterprise not be allowed. If Samsung can produce a better unit and cheaper then so be it. Though I am betting cheaper it will not be. Also like IPad Samsung has you tied to their software for syncing and file management. I think it would be better just using explorer.
