A Delicate Situation: Apple vs. Samsung in Australia
The drama surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 continues to unfold, with the latest development being the postponement of the Australian media launch event scheduled for August 11, 2011. This news comes as a result of the ongoing legal proceedings between Samsung Electronics Australia and Apple Inc.
Background: The Legal Proceedings
In recent weeks, Apple has taken Samsung to court in Australia, alleging that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringes on Apple’s patents for its iPad device. As part of this lawsuit, Apple requested an injunction to ban the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia until the case is resolved.
Samsung’s Response: A Postponement
In light of these developments, Samsung has decided to postpone its media launch event for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which was scheduled to take place on August 11, 2011. This decision comes as a precautionary measure to avoid any potential conflicts with Apple’s legal proceedings.
The Postponement: A Statement from Samsung
Via Gizmodo Australia, we obtained a statement from Samsung regarding the postponement of the media launch event:
"In light of the current legal proceedings by Apple Inc. against Samsung Electronics Australia, Samsung regrets to announce it will be postponing its media launch event, scheduled for 11th August 2011, for the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1.
Samsung will announce a new date for the GALAXY Tab 10.1 media launch event as soon as practicable."
The Release of a "Variant" of the Galaxy Tab 10.1
In an effort to circumvent Apple’s requests, Samsung had planned to release a variant of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, rather than the original device. However, this move was seen as being against the good faith of the agreement reached with Apple.
A New Chapter: The Future of the Galaxy Tab 10.1
While the postponement of the media launch event may seem like a setback for Samsung, it is essential to note that the company has not confirmed whether the device will be canceled altogether. In fact, Samsung has stated that they will announce a new date for the media launch event as soon as possible.
The Implications: A Conflict at the Venue?
Some speculate that there may have been a conflict at the venue where the original media launch event was scheduled to take place. Could it be that Apple had booked the venue for an iPad-related event, forcing Samsung to postpone their own launch?
The Debate Continues: Will the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Launch in Australia?
While the postponement of the media launch event has created uncertainty around the device’s release date, Samsung remains committed to bringing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Australian market.
