Am I looking at the wrong Samsung tablet?
How can people not distinguish between it and the ipad? Different size, different form factor and one says "Samsung" in pretty large letters

Yup, you're right. Not even the same island in the background behind that icon grid over top of that dock-looking thing at the bottom.
I once had a student who tried to submit his original poetry assignment by taking lines from other poets and then changing one word in each line, not realizing the modified line was was still easily searchable in Google. He did not pass the assignment.

Yeah, it might help if you used similarly sized tablets. As crawford says, they make a 10.1".
They look very similar to me - hard to notice the dimly printed "SAMSUNG" on the black border. Or you could interpret it as Samsung making licensed iPads (not that anyone would know Apple doesn't license the iPad or the iOS).
Not that it's all Samsung's fault, I blame Google (Android) partly. All of sudden someone comes up with a "NEW" OS (yeah right, it's absolutely new and doesn't copy any elements of Windows or MacOS/iOS - I'm being sarcastic here) after Apple and Microsoft settle their differences, what just 10 years prior (It was in the late 1990's I believe). It's pretty hard to create a new OS without copying something that everyone is familiar with.

Odd that you should say that, since smartphones and tablets looked nothing like they do now until the iPhone and iPad came along. It's one thing to be "inspired" by others, but it's quite another to copy their answers word for word when the teacher isn't looking.
Suing Samsung and Motorola is the first step toward ultimately suing Google, since it is Google who designs the software for Android, though the individual companies can tweak it. If Apple loses this case, or at least doesn't win on the major points, it doesn't really give any company the incentive to come up with its own original marketable designs for anything since anyone else can come along and steal them with impunity.

Compare the bottoms and tell me Samsung didn't copy Apple. Or are you going to tell us you can't make a small PC without a round access cover?
Yeah - that round access cover on the Samsung one struck me too.
Just like the new flatter Mini with integral power.
But a circular screw in access plate isn't unique to the Mini (and Samsung), I have seen that on other products - not PCs mind you.
Question is when does one draw the line in what is legally allowed and what is not.
