They would have to imply to Apple that the part would be available if the tab went back on the market. That's extortion!

  Is it illegal? How is this different from deal making in general? ie If you give me this then I'll give you that?

    It's the negative you can't do. If you give me this, I'll give you that is fine. IF you DONT give me this, <x> is extortion.

      Ah, I didn't know that. Makes sense.

  Wasn't the A4/A5 chip fabbed by Samsung? Apple doesn't have a chipmaking plant...yet. There's one part that's Apple-only. And Samsung wouldn't have to imply anything. They could just make life harder for the iPad supply chain.

    Breach of contract would just make it bad for Samsung Semiconductor, because I don't believe that Apple would leave that up to chance ...

      You appear to be assuming there are no clauses regarding unforeseen production difficulties, associated supply problems, and penalties in said contract.
