The Gadgetshas a full dislocation of perceived similarity , some of which are fairer than others . Exhibit A above , for example , does n’t chance upon me as particularly noteworthy . Both have app icons . large whoop .

And their keyboards :
And so on .
But even if this is imitation , who says that ’s a bad affair ? If anything , Swype on a tablet will be a major melioration over the iPad ’s keyboard . And the iPad does email well ! Why present an inferior solution just to say you were different ?
Besides , even if the Galaxy Tab and iPad interface really are that similar , there ’s plenty enough to distinguish the two . Front and rear - face television camera , for one , which means video schmooze . It ’s tentative the display will be the same , especially since Samsung ’s commit to Super AMOLED for all of their otherGalaxy Sproducts ( though it ’s not certain whether it will show up here ) . And all the underlying differences that descend from being iOS versus Android .
