Most <> all

Even if we accept your position
that Samsung's design is closer to
the I-pad than those of other
manufacturer's you still have not
advanced a theory as to why
confusing utter idiots as
to which tablet they are buying
should be illegal.

Apple is trying to assert
a design patent that says
little more than thin rectangle
with rounded corners,

So, what other shapes easily loosely mirrors an already very common device
called the paper tablet. You can't deviate much from that thin rectangular
shape or it won't fit into already existing environments.

Thin, flat, rounded corners, and thin bezel just wide enough for a finger grasp,
all constitute functional design choices. Furthermore the Galaxy Tab 10.1
doesn't even have the needless iPad home button on the front. Arguably it is a
cleaner sleeker design. In fact I liked it better than the iPad2 design. Apple
is having sour grapes because Samsung managed to make their Galaxy Tab 10.1
thinner, lighter, and sleeker as well as Android is outpacing iOS in useful
creative features.

IMPOSSIBLE THAT YOU SHORTED SCOX

SCOX was not able to be shorted -- stock could not be borrowed.
