Apple is fighting Samsung over the design of several products including the Galaxy Tab 10.1. They allege that the products are stealing Apple's design and appearance or something like that. Apple filed lawsuits in several countries. And it looks like the wins are now starting to roll in. They won a victory in Australia that prevented Samsung from launching the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in that country. And now they won in Europe. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 launched a week ago, but a German court ruled that Samsung must immediately stop selling and advertising the tablet (someone reported they also have to pull products from retail shelves). Netherlands is excluded because they have different patent laws, but Apple has a separate lawsuit there too.

Looks grim for Samsung. I agree the Galaxy products resemble some Apple products, but I think this is pretty common. I think Apple is just upset that Android is doing so well and using this an excuse.
