You are missing my point. We're talking about a
The technology is vastly different, and while I agree that the exterior may be similar, it is not the same. For the untrained eye, 80% of cars look exactly the same - it's stuff on 4 wheels that moves after all, but you don't see any lawsuits because of it.

30-Pin connectors are required as tablets take a higher charging voltage than phones. If you want unified charging and data on a tablet, the use of 30-pin connectors is mandatory.I'll just reply to this one. Every single tablet out there uses mini-B USB or micro-B USB. Why create a form factor SO similiar to Apple?So a tablet connector used by pretty much every company due to its slim design and uh...a USB cable?And theeeen.... THIS
Heh, coincidences!

To comment on this, neither the first-gen iPad or Transformer Prime I've got will charge via USB on the PC because they need more power than 2.0 will supply (according to specs)... so they need to use USB-wall chargers (the iPad worked with a generic one I've got, but the TF Prime needs me to use the one it came with, likely because it drains even more to run).
Mine does that without a 30-pin connector. Also, WHY 30-pin just like Apple? Why not 40? Why not 28?30-Pin connectors are required as tablets take a higher charging voltage than phones.

Still, mine charges with a normal miniUSB, even while requiring 2A (which is WAY more than 500mA supplied by USB).
In cases like this the companies are literally making claims about what other companies have done. This damages the image of the other companies, and if it's found to not be true in court, most people who have seen the public accusations won't know about it.
I don't think Apple will sue anyone else, right now. I mean, they're already sueing and BEING sued by far too many companies.
My Kindle is thinner than any tablet Samsung or Apple has and uses a MicroUSB. I also have an Apple 30-pin next to me, and its not thinner than a MicroUSB cable.I think my brain imploded a bit reading that...30-Pin connectors are required as tablets take a higher charging voltage than phones.

Also the form factor looks the same purely because these tablets are so thin. Spreading out the pins into a thin row along one side allows them to make thin tablets. It is a physical need that they look this way.

Huh, it's not like the device is POWERED by USB. It just uses it to recharge (so a lower "power" is fine, it just takes longer to recharge).My Kindle is thinner than any tablet Samsung or Apple has and uses a MicroUSB.

since when can you compare a kindle to an ipad? Think of the difference in power. thats why kindle can use usb.
