The biggest news we've seen so far out of the huge IFA trade show being held in Berlin, Germany this week is not what is being shown, it's what is not being shown. Samsung, the number two player in the tablet field, has withdrawn the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from display. Why did they do that you ask? Simple, the iFruit company has been suing Samsung all over the planet and found a court in Germany that supported the iFruit contention that Samsung was infringing on iFruit patents. Boo on you iFruit. We have tested two Samsung Galaxy Tab products and found them to be wonderful tablets, they are excellent in every way.
Instead of competing in the open marketplace far too many companies choose to battle in the courts instead. I am reminded of the Kodak/Polaroid battle over instant picture technology. Polaroid ended up "winning" and Kodak's excellent cameras went kaput. Just look what the victory managed to accomplish. Very little. And where are both companies today?
