Plenty of American and other companies have claimed that Chinese companies have copied their designs.
Now, a Chinese company is claiming that Apple stole the design for the iPad from it.
An electronics firm in Shenzen, China, has been selling tablet computer called the PC-P88 since last July. The company, Shenzhen Great Loong Industrial, says that they are talking to lawyers and readying a lawsuit against Apple.
The PC-P88
- is a bit heavier than the iPad
- has USB ports, unlike the iPad
- runs Windows and supports Linux
- has an ethernet port as well as WiFi
- has a 160GB hard drive (unlike the Apple iPad)
- has card reader
- has only 1.5 hours battery time
My comments
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Apple is famous for claiming that others have copied its designs, and for filing lawsuits.
Even so, there were plenty of tablet computers before the iPad and also before the PC-P88 (like the Microsoft Tablet PC), so I don’t think Great Loong’s lawsuit could end up being anything other than a PR boost.

This is interesting.. where did you hear this from? They don’t really look too similar from the pictures but anything is possible
Jay Booshay´s last blog ..Video of the NY Knicks Player Introduction and Pregame Show
From the New York Times article referenced in “Resources”. I’m not saying that Apple is liable for anything. But it’s just funny how, when Apple comes out with a product (like the iPod or iPhone), iFans like to claim that it’s an iClone.
Actually, almost every product ever made is just an incremental evolution over existing designs.

What other tv shows do you enjoy ? I was a big fan of prison break , to bad it’s over now
I dont belive Apple stole the design from anywhere, just pure fantasy if you ask me.
I think it’s inevitable that with each new technology that arrives, someone will have designed something similar and threaten to sue.
How on earth could that be? Apple has as twice as experienced designers as the Chinese company.
Apple always manages to amaze us. Those designs, the graphics, touch screen, the screens, all are great! I am invidious of those that have such a phone. But I don’t have enough money to buy one. I am saving my money for htc aria screen replacement. That is, everyone with what they have.
I like view your site a couple times a week for new readings. I was wondering should you have any other subjects you write about?
After study a number of of the weblog posts on your website now, and I truly like your method of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and shall be checking again soon. Pls take a look at my site as properly and let me know what you think.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe that it’s best to write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic but typically people are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
It is hard to say who is right and wrong , design right is also a debatable topical .Everyone has his own statements.

I just bought a cool laptop and decided to examine the internet. This particular web page improved my mood in a good way, so I wanted to express my appreciation.
wow it is such a nice design of apple like it
Yes, i agreed with you on this statement. It’s basically a deep pocket lawsuit. Just like Facebook who sue reputable company that use “FACE” in the domain. Unrealistic!

Frankly, i think the design looks so similar to the Ipad, and question is who patented the design first?
Also, patent it is also a loophole, as long as some minor design is changed, someone can claim it under their ownership.

Thanks for your post. My spouse and i have generally observed that a lot of people are desirous to lose weight as they wish to look slim and also attractive. Having said that, they do not often realize that there are other benefits so that you can losing weight also. Doctors insist that over weight people are afflicted with a variety of conditions that can be directly attributed to their excess weight. Fortunately that people that are overweight plus suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their own illnesses through losing weight. You’ll be able to see a continuous but noticeable improvement with health if even a moderate amount of fat loss is reached.
