Because actually both are using the standard 30-pin PDMI connector and just modify the pins. http://www.bizlinktech.com/pix/PDMI%20CRADLE%20CONNECTOR2_clean.jp

The comparison images you found are created by uninformed Verge and Engadget forum trolls. It is absolutely normal that all 30-pin PDMI based cables will look identical other than the branding on them. Samsung feared this would happen and made their cable a different color and put a clearly readable SAMSUNG logo there. Apparently, it wasn't enough.
Also note that this is completely irrelevant right now. Samsung's phones (including the phone-tablet hybrid Galaxy Note) use the standard Micro USB port and they ship with Micro USB cables.
- huxley 14y agoApple doesn't use PDMI. PDMI standard was developed in 2007. Apple introduced its 30 pin connector in 2001. PDMI was an attempt by industry players to standardize Apple's connector without Apple's input.
- esolyt 14y agoThank you. I didn't know Apple introduced its 30-pin connector even before the PDMI standard. But still my argument stands. Both Samsung and Asus are using 30-pin PDMI-based connectors for their 10 inch tablets. I find it pointless to do a side-by-side comparison of two 30-pin connectors.
