Few days back we reported that Apple has won a preliminary injunction stopping Samsung from selling Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the EU except for Netherlands. Now a Dutch Magazine found that Apple faked an evidence against Samsung when it said that iPad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 designs are “practically identicalâ€.
The picture that was provided by Apple has been modified giving the Galaxy Tab 10.1 an aspect ratio of 1.36 and making it look 8% wider and exactly like the iPad which has a 1.30 aspect ratio. When actually the Samsung’s tablet has an aspect ratio of 1.46.
But the picture Apple submitted of the Tab is inaccurate and does not match the real Galaxy Tab 10.1, Webwereld discovered. Further investigations have verified this assessment. The Galaxy Tab due on the European market is taller and more oblong than the iPad 2. However, the shape of what Apple claims to be a Tab 10.1 resembles the iPad very closely.
The picture of the alleged Galaxy Tab provided by Apple is cropped and its aspect ratio is distorted. According to Samsung, the Tab measures 256.7 x 175.3 millimeters, which translates to an aspect ratio of 1.46. The Tab pictured in the complaint however has an aspect ratio of 1.36. The bottom is about 8% wider than the actual one.
So what do you think ???
