The lawsuit started in the US in April, and has Apple accusing Samsung of ripping of the iPhone and the iPad in look and feel. The evidence is hard to contradict. Show one of Samsung's recent touch-screen handsets to a layperson and they'll probably mistake it for an iPhone.
Not only has Apple successfully halted the launch of the Tab 10.1, but Samsung has agreed to supply Apple with three examples of the tablet at least a week before any future launch date. This is necessary as the Australian Tab 10.1 will differ from the U.S model. Unless it looks like an Etch-a-Sketch, though, it's pretty hard to imagine that Apple will give it the go-ahead.
By the time this spat finally works its way through the courts, it's likely we will have forgotten about it. But what seems clear right now is that Apple is currently winning, likely thanks to the obviousness of Samsung's rip-offs. If the Korean tech giant is to move forward with its Android phones and tablets, it's going to have to invent some of its own.
