Samsung Proposes Deal with Apple for Galaxy Tab Launch in Australia

So when are you gonna get rid of your iphone and ipad? Guess who makes the screen? You guess it.

I wonder how many iDummies know that Samsung components make up like 70% of their iToys. They remind me of the cartoon bear in the "HTC EVO vs iPhone" skit.

In 2010, Samsung-sourced components made up an estimated 26% of the iPhone 4's BOM cost. The percentage is similar for the iPad.

That was before the Apple/Samsung patent fight escalated. I'd imagine the percentages are lower today.

LG, by the way, is usually cited as the primary screen supplier, although that too may have changed as of late, although for different reasons.

Yup, pretty soon Apple will be divested of all dealings with Samsung. Then the war will really be on.

Having played with both, I would if forced to choose.

But I'm waiting for Windows 8
