I want these people who are running around saying there's no other way to design Samsung's stuff to explain to me one thing.
Why, of all the devices on earth, does Samsung's tablet exactly mimic Apple's USB connector?
I've got a Galaxy Tab sitting right next to me, here. The design isn't just similar, the dimensions are nearly identical.
Explain it to me. Please. If you can offer a compelling case for why Samsung isn't a shameless industrial design thief that can also account for their USB connector, I will be very impressed. It is, to me, the smoking gun. Don't tell me it's the only way to design a low-profile USB connector. It's the only way when Apple does it – everyone else has been doing fine with USB mini and micro.

Oh, and for thoroughness, how Amazon designed a beautiful USB micro cable that looked nothing at all like Apple's: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Replacement-Display-Generation-...
Maybe Apple had a time machine and traveled into the future, stealing Samsung's wholly original USB cable design?
