Samsung reportedly offers Apple deal to end dispute

The Wall Street Journal claims Samsung has offered a deal to Apple that would let the tablet maker sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia. Terms of the deal were not released, but it supposedly will "comfort" Apple. Other details suggest it won't stop the litigation, but will temporarily avoid an injunction. The isn't exactly what Samsung wanted, but it will get the Galaxy Tab on retail shelves during the holiday shopping season.

Samsung is motivated to negotiate and avoid an injunction in yet another country. Apple already won an injunction in Germany and Samsung had to pull the tablet from market. Samsung also faces similar lawsuits in the US, Japan and South Korea.

All Apple wants is for Samsung to apply their own design language to their products, accessories packaging, operating systems, and advertising. Short of that, there's no way they're going to leave you alone if you're still ripping them off, and you are going to continue to lose in court.

I'd seen pictures of the similarities before, but I actually got to un-box a Galaxy Tab today, and it had me laughing out loud the entire time. Samsung has shamelessly Xeroxed every facet of the ecosystem surrounding Apple's devices, and there's no way to dispute it.
