Ok, you had me use superlatives where I used none. I never said they were all complex, I said most. Then you parade around one proof of concept that was simple and act like that disproved that many were complex, but again, can I buy a crunchpad? Did they invest millions of dollars on bringing it to consumers hands? It's hardly the same thing as creating and releasing a functioning device, and that's exactly my point. Simple as it is, no one had actually released and mass marketed a simple tablet.
As for all this nonsense about how other form factors still exist, that's great, I'm happy for them. Thats not what the galaxy tab was, and that's the point. The galaxy tab was made to have people think of the iPad.
Finally, the courts and many others disagree with you that apples design isn't unique. Accept it, many people feel that the galaxy tab was uninspired and a quick-to-production scramble to compete with the newly released iPad 2. I personally think that apple deserves to be rewarded for standing on stage and delivering what many thought was lame, but when actually used was amazing. Apparently, you don't appreciate apples fundamental game change and so don't think they deserve to be the only ones profiting from their design. Fair enough, but since your belief isn't being upheld by the courts, you're going to have to spend much more time justifying your position to yourself than the person who agrees with what the judges are seeing.
