Ever since Apple started to assert the design of the iPad against other manufacturers, many people have been wondering whether there's actually prior art for the general design of the iPad in some futuristic devices shown in sci-fi movies and TV series. And indeed, Samsung's lawyers make this claim now in their defense against Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction.
so yes, i have an ipad...and yes, i question that purchase, due to the inability of ipad to process flash (of which the internet is almost entirely comprised these days). so, good for samsung for doing their research!
also note: 2001: a space odyssey is my all time favorite movie. but you knew that.
