The various court cases between Apple and Samsung  are heating up, recently we heard that Apple has tried to ban imports of Samsung devices in the US, and then Samsung filed another complaint with the ITC.

It would seem that the first device to be effected by the lawsuits is Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, which now wont go on sale in Australia until the case between the two companies is resolved.

Samsung has agreed to stop advertising the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia until the lawsuit is resolved, and should Samsung win the lawsuit Apple has apparently agreed to pay Samsung damages for halting sales of the tablet in Australia.

Samsung has also said that Apple is basing its lawsuit in Australia on the US version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and not the Australian version, and Samsung will be giving Apple three samples of the tablet for them to review.
