You should be aware of the famous legal war that is being fought by Google (Android) vs Apple (iPhone-iPad) makers. Both have been busy punching each other with bunch of lawsuits for patent violations. Apple did played wild and banned many Android devices from HTC and Samsung from being used in Europe as well as Australia. Since Apple is Patent owner of hundreds of key technologies, thus it is very much possible that almost every device based on Android is violating Apple’s patents in some way.
Apple did repeatedly accused Samsung for designing it’s Galaxy Tab an almost exact copy of its iPad lineup and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 even got banned in Australia for few days upon court orders, but was lifted very soon.
Experts say that, if Apple focuses on issuing patent Licenses to others, than it can earn upto $10/sale of Android device. But instead it seams Apple’s target is to slow down Android from gaining popularity and is trying to slow it down in whatever way possible. Lets see for how long this years old fight, yet much heated war has to go on.
