Have you witnessed this scene before?

A little boy is with his daddy in Burger King. He is playing with his iPad. The iPad doesn't seem to be responding. So the little boy screams, somewhat ungraciously: "IT'S NOT WORKING AGAIN!!!"

Following yesterday's report that Apple and Samsung had come to an agreement in a federal court in Australia to have Samsung not sell the U.S. version of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country, Samsung has confirmed the agreement.

A Samsung spokesperson responded to Android-focused blog Austdroid, noting that the company's plans to release a version of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the Australian market "in the near future":

Apple Inc. filed a complaint with the Federal Court of Australia involving a Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 variant that Samsung Electronics had no plans of selling in Australia. No injunction was issued by the court and the parties in the case reached a mutual agreement which stipulates that the variant in question will not be sold in Australia.

A Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 for the Australian market will be released in the near future.

This undertaking does not affect any other Samsung smartphone or tablet available in the Australian market or other countries.

Samsung will continue to actively defend and protect our intellectual property to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the mobile communication business.

That statement obviously does not go into detail about what changes will be made to that device in order to keep Apple from going on the legal offensive once again. … Read more

Samsung will no longer provide sales data and forecasts on its mobile phones and tablets.

Announcing the new policy today, the company said that revealing such information may present risks to its business in the face of increased competition.
