I agree with William Robb's sentiment regarding Apple. I can't remember the exact post, and haven't read many in this thread. I have an iPod Touch for music, but this whole thing with Apple disgusts me. I have no intention of buying another Apple product unless something happens to change my mind. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and frankly I find it hard to imagine there's much I'd want to do on an iPad that I couldn't do on the Samsung. For me the tablet is a consumption device and if I can't edit RAW's on it at present I have no interest in using it for photo-editing (and I might not anyway). Granted the iPad's display resolution is higher, but in a device of this size I tend to sense a case of diminishing returns. At some point increased resolution only really counts if it allows me to view the image both larger and crisper. If I understand correctly Samsung is the supplier of many of Apple's displays. If true, where would Apple get them from if not from Samsung? If I were Samsung, I'd consider raising the price of a display panel to cover Apples's lawsuit if they don't win on appeal. In that case Apple would be paying the $1B penalty themselves instead of Samsung, or passing it along to their customers. Samsung could laugh all the way to the bank. Apple appears like a rabid dog in some sense, biting the hand that feeds it. Granted Samsung also profits because of the popularity of Apple products which use Samsung components. Still if I were; Samsung I'd stick it to Apple cost-wise. I'm sure they're already considering it.
