Samsung relaunched the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Germany with a few changes that it hopes will help it steer clear of additional legal troubles with Apple. The first tweak is its name: the company is now calling its tablet the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, FOSSPatents said. It appears the tablet may also have additional metal framing on the front bezel, which is likely a tweak from the company’s product team to help further distinguish the device from the iPad. Samsung’s German-based subsidiaries were banned from selling the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 after a court-ordered injunction was levied against the product. As FOSSPatents explains, the Galaxy Tab 10.1N could result in further litigation, since Apple was fighting to protect “a set of characteristics and the overall impression” the iPad makes, and it’s unclear if the Galaxy Tab 10.1N addressed every concern. The tablet is currently on sale from local online retailer cyberport.de for €549.00.
