Chinese Tablet Maker to Sue Apple Over iPad Design
2 Feb 2010 | Apple | 0 comments
Oh, the irony. A tablet PC maker located in a southern Chinese city known for producing knock-off phones, including iPhones, may sue Apple over the design of the iPad.
Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial started selling the P88 tablet last year and is not ruling out a lawsuit against Apple, a company representative said.
Seems that the form factor is the only similar thing between the two devices. The P88 weighs more than the iPad and has about an hour of battery life, compared to iPad's 10 hour battery life.
Apple is already in trouble for using the name "iPad", which is owned by Japanese electronics company Fujitsu. Apple has not commented on the situation yet.
