Apple Lied to Get Samsung's Galaxy Tab Banned From Europe

In real life the iPad 2 is 9.5in x 7.31 in x .34in. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 , on the other hand, is 10.1in x6.9in x.34in (that's why it's called the Galaxy Tab 10.1, natch). But in court documents, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was cropped and stretched to be be eight percent wider than it really is. That's right: in a court case about what how customers compare the two products, Apple submitted a fake picture of the competitor's product.
Not sure what this'll do to the pending suit, but you'd think it'd severely damage Apple's claims. The company is keeping mum for now but you'd better bet we'll be hearing more about this in the coming days.

This must have been some sort of mistake. You have to be seriously stupid to think that enlarging the width of your competitor's product won't bite you in the ass later on. And, of course, it did.

I agree with Android Addict. I can't believe one German court has the ability to decide something for an entire continent! And without even giving the "guilty" party adequate time to respond! This is democracy in Europe? Ha!
Apple has reached a new low. This makes them look incredibly desperate and afraid of the competition.
Uh, Marcel, that's a pretty big mistake if you ask me...
Are you guys sure this wasn't a mistake?
Did the EU really grant this injunction based on these photos alone? Without allowing Samsung to respond? That's freaky deaky, if you ask me.
