In a move to further widen the scope of its second-generation Tab series, Samsung has announced its new offering, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is based on the same PLS TFT touch screen and 1 GHz dual core processor seen in the company’s recently announced Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. “Samsung introduces its first line-up of tablets for 2012 with the launch of the GALAXY Tab 2 series, expanding the choice of tablets to customers,” said Samsung in its release. “The GALAXY Tab 2 series includes a 7-inch version...

Knowing that a good quality display is needed for tablets to appear more attractive than others, Samsung seems to have realized this as reports claim that the company has started producing 7-inch AMOLED displays with WSVGA 1024 x 600p resolution. According to a report by Oled-Display.net, the South Korean electronics giant may launch tablets that incorporate this kind of screen in the future. In September 2011, Samsung introduced the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, a tablet PC that sported a 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen display that...

On Thursday, Cupertino-based tech giant Apple has been granted an injunction to block Korean electronics firm Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, after claiming that it copied Apple’s top-selling iPad tablet. The Australian Federal Court handed down the judgement in Sydney, but noted that the reasons for its decision would be released on Friday. Justice Annabelle Bennet said that she is satisfied that it is “appropriate to grant an interim injunction.” The judge added that Apple has established a good...

PC World reported that Samsung erased all traces of its Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet in the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany. This comes after it received a call from a court in Düsseldorf, the very place where the company is facing a lawsuit filed by its fierce rival, Apple. Apple is accusing Samsung Electronics of infringing iPad-related patents by releasing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is far bigger than the 7.7 tablet, but it looks like the court has an issue with the name “Galaxy Tab,” as the Galaxy...

PC manufacturer Lenovo has claimed that Samsung Electronics only sold 20,000 Galaxy Tab devices out of the 1 million units it shipped in 2010. In December, the Korean electronics giant said that it had shipped one million units of the original Galaxy Tab tablets, which was made available in the United Kingdom in October 2010. The claim, coming from one of Samsung’s top rivals, came despite having no evidence to back it up. The Samsung Galaxy Tab was the first major tablet to compete with Apple’s iPad. Powered by a 1 GHz Hummingbird...

Apple has misled the judge of a German court by bringing in tampered evidence of the similarity between the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and its iPad 2 tablets. Dutch news website webwereld.nl found that the photo presented by Apple’s lawyers were inaccurate. Last week, a German court ordered an injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1’s distribution in Europe, except the Netherlands, where the two companies have a separate lawsuit filed. It appears that Apple failed to provide the judge with accurate evidence. One of the Galaxy Tab...

Last week, Apple went to a German regional trial court to block Samsung from selling its Android-powered Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet across Europe. Now, the same court announced that Samsung can once again sell its tablet as it has partially lifted its ban. Samsung is now free to sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets in all EU countries, except for Germany, after a German court changed its injunction which was enacted last week. According to a report by Wall Street journal, the decision came because a German court can’t “ban a company...

Apple scored a huge victory in its legal battle against Samsung after a German court barred the Korean company from selling its Galaxy Tab tablets in the EU, except the Netherlands. The court order comes a week after a similar lawsuit in Australia delayed the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1s in the country. Apple claims that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets and mobile phones copied its iPad and iPhones. It has sued the Korean company in Australia, the United States and elsewhere. Samsung, on the other hand, has countersued Apple. “There’s...
