Tablet Computer Spotted in 1968 Kubrick Classic, Cited in Samsung Case

, Aug 23rd 2011 Discuss [13]

It appears that the very first place one might see a tablet computer in action, at least one looking so minimalistic as an iPad, is in the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick. This movie features at least one scene in which a couple of tablets are used to compute while breakfast is being consumed by their users. What this particular scene is being used for at this very moment is so-called evidence that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet design does not use the iPad 2 for inspiration, that instead a single screen with little border surrounding it used for computing has been a common design for a “tablet” computer for quite some time.

This past week brought more patent litigation drama along with new rumors for the exciting gadgets to come in the next few months.

, Aug 11th 2011 Discuss [49]

Samsung may not have had the opportunity to fight Apple’s European preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 – only finding out that Apple had filed after the ban on sales was applied - but the company has come out fighting in the Netherlands hearing today. Samsung demanded that the Dutch courts throw out the case as it was simply too complex for summary proceedings, Webwereld reports, pointing out that plenty of electronic devices are flat, rectangular and have rounded corners and large screens, and that – based on Apple’s standards – every digital photo frame is in fact an iPad.
