Samsung's tablet would also outwit apple in australia
Yesterday we learned that the German court recognized that it could not prevent the commercialization of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe, despite the efforts of the North American Apple to stumble the penetration of the South Korean tablet in the Old Continent. But it seems that this region will not be the only one that circumvents the controls of Cupertino.
Through Phandroid we have learned that in Australia they could also get away from the judicial veto to which Apple tries to subject the Asian firm as a preventive measure until the facts that they intend to impute to Samsung due to several of its products are clarified (specifically, under the accusation of plagiarism and unauthorized use of patents).
The fact is that the premiere of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 could be held in the southern country next Thursday, September 1, unless Apple tightens the nuts of the judicial machinery in the region. By the way, in Australia the price of this tablet is set at about 422 euros, at the current exchange rate.
It would be, at least, curious if Apple tried to intensify its efforts to block the marketing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, where, as in other regions of the globe, the device has been on sale for months. And it is that the operator of British origin Vodafone has been selling units of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v, a personalized version of this tablet since shortly before summer.
In any case, the credit of the Californian firm was significantly undermined when, from a Dutch publication, a flagrant indication of fraud was exposed among the evidence presented in the German courts where one of the complaints filed by Apple is brought.
And, as we have already told you, those from Cupertino offered as proof a comparative model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the iPad 2 in which the Korean device had proportions that, as it was later corroborated, did not conform to the reality.
