Nokia re-enters the mobile market after selling its phone business to Microsoft with a new tablet that looks VERY familiar. . . because they're copying the Apple iPad mini . . .

Aaah, Nokia, we thought better of you. PING!


Apple iPad Mini on the left, New Nokia Tablet on the right.


Apple iPad Mini Trade Dress Infringement by Nokia? Ping!

What a troll.

We have a president about to engage in one of the biggest usurpation of power in history, and you are more pissed off that some damn tablet looks like some crap from Apple.

Oh boo hoo! Should we riot in tbe streets today or tomorrow?

The folks at MacRunors are making a big deal out of this.

Look guys, you are buying your screens from the same vendors, in standard sizes. There is nothing ingenious abour rounded corners and a chrome-colored edge with basic black providing the trim color.

Decades ago, every 12” B/W television set had the SAME setup:

Three small knobs for Volume/Brightness/Contrast (in that order)

Click-stop VHF knob above the non-click-stop UHF knob

Speaker below all

All knobs were in the upper right

The speaker was always in the lower right

Most models came with fake wood grain for the body, though grey and white were also available.

And NOBODY sued or complained it was a rip off.

Apple’s primary distinguishing feature is iOS and custom chips inside, just like General Electric TV’s was VIR and Motorola’s was “Works in a drawer”.
