Does this mean Apple is now liable for damages for the loss of two months of Galaxy sales? Not that I imagine the number would be particularly high.
Apple will be liable only if Samsung wins the full trial

I highly doubt that they will settle outside the court
An Australian court has denied Apple's request to appeal an overturned preliminary injunction of Samsung's Galaxy Tab, allowing the South Korean company to begin selling the device as early as next week.
People hate this bullshit. It may delay or even kill the competition, but the ill-will with the public remains.
Really how long are we gonna be bombarded with this ridiculous battle. I give up trying to figure all this out. There must be a happy medium. Where that will be who knows. I honestly think that the iPad 3 will change it and make the competition be lacking. We will have to see.
Poor judgment by the judge. As an inventor living in Australia, I'm not going to try any more, knowing that even if I hit upon a winner, other companies will be allowed to steal it.

How high it would be depends on which arguements the judges accept. The lawyers for both parties sound more like the marketing department of the company they are not representing. Apple lawyers argue that Galaxy would decimate iPad sales, and Samsumg lawyers argue that Galaxy sales would barely impact on iPad sales. Lets see how quickly they both change their position if Samsung are entitled to damages.

Apple needs to keep up the fight to punish and teach the copycats an expensive lesson otherwise when Apple releases an iPad3 everybody will just start up their copy machines again.

"Apple tried to stop us, copying their stuff, but the judge said that making it, look older was enough. Burma-Shave."
Ah, we have a winner.
Nope. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was physically redesigned in Germany (producing the Galaxy Tab 10.1N) in an attempt to bypass the community design in Germany. It has nothing to do with the case in Australia.
In Australia, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will not require any physical redesign to satisfy the courts for the purposes of the preliminary injunction -- in fact, the preliminary injunction simply doesn't exist anymore.

From that site, iPads come with 12 month worldwide warranties, while the Samsung tab comes with a 12 month Australia warranty.
Good for Aussies bad for anyone else.

What copycats in Australia?
Anyone actually gain anything from these lawsuits other then Microsoft and Nokia?
What did they gain? they have no products in the tablet space and no products in the phone space.
Time to go re-fill the popcorn tub.
Let's all remember that this is all still regarding a *preliminary* injunction and that the case is still yet to be decided.

Yap, the show will restart in March with the full trial
