For those in Germany disappointed at the lack of choice as far as tablets go and were forced to purchase an iPad due to an injunction issued back in August, we've got some good news for you. You no longer need to smuggle tabs over into your neck of the woods, as Samsung has fully complied with the court's ruling, making some slight modifications to its popular tablet. What are they? No one knows just yet, however, it appears that there is a black bezel extending slightly towards the metal rim of the device now. In addition, the title of the tab has been slightly modified, as it's now dubbed the “Galaxy Tab 10.1N”. The device is now on sale in Germany and touts a shipping time of two to four days. Here's to hoping that Apple gives up and isn't looking for something else to claim infringement upon. You know, like the power button or something.

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.
