First, Apple is suing over the Xoom's design, not a technical patent (the details came up in the Samsung lawsuit):

It was obvious to me which was the iPad and which was the Xoom in every comparison shot. Since you disagree, it sounds to me like you're one of the people who actually think Apple should have the exclusive rights to minimalist, black rectangles with rounded corners.
- dextorious 15y ago"""First, Apple is suing over the Xoom's design, not a technical patent""" Gee, maybe that's why I fn wrote "Xoom was also bloody similar", and added the technical patent issue on a separate* line where I'm NOT talking about Xoom. """It was obvious to me which was the iPad and which was the Xoom in every comparison shot. """ You really believe that the litmus test of an original not derived design is that you are able to tell which is which? There are tons of Rolex clones that you can easily tell from the original, but that doesn't mean the haven't copied it. """it sounds to me like you're one of the people who actually think Apple should have the exclusive rights to minimalist, black rectangles with rounded corners.""" And it sounds to me like you're one of the people who actually defend companies not even trying to come up with something different.
