German court rules against Samsung – Galxay Tab vs Apple iPad 2
THE RULING: A German court says Samsung Electronics cannot sell its new Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer in Germany.
WHY: It says the design too closely resembles Apple’s iPad 2. Apple had taken Samsung to court over its Galaxy line.
LIMITATIONS: The ruling only applies to direct sales from Samsung, so distributors who acquire the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from abroad could resell them in Germany.
Sprint Said to Plan Unlimited Data Offer With Apple’s IPhone
Sprint, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier, plans to begin selling the device in mid-October under a deal with Apple for the next model, the iPhone 5, said the people, who wouldn’t be identified because the plans aren’t public. Becoming the country’s only operator to offer the device with unlimited data service for a flat fee may help Sprint draw customers from AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which already carry the phone, they said.
