You forget, it doesn't run iOS
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, August 27 2012 @ 12:11 PM EDT
I absolutely fail to understand how they could be regarded as similar. It's
like claiming that a given handbag copies a Louis Vuitton model -- but instead
of zippers it has buttons.

Oh, and "LV" is not there, but a different logo; and that's even
before you use the product for its intended purpose -- (and try to open the bag)
which usability is a condition for the sale to hold.

No, the OS is not something that is accessory or invisible. I certainly would
return an iPad-looking-like-a-Samsung as soon as I discover the existence of the
walled garden; and the retailer would have to refund, if I stated that my
intention was to use this for software development (or watching Flash movies, or
keeping my privacy intact)

This would only have sense if everyone believes that Apple products are bought
in order to be put in a glass case and never to be turned on. Well, maybe it's
their intention, after all.
