Pad war

Looks like Apple just got itself more news. Some china company is suing Apple for copying the design of the iPad. The china Pad device is named P88. While the design probably have differences in term of connectivity, the appearance looks very similar. P88 company is going to sue Apple. I am sure it isn't a win win issue here but this is a good time to generate publicity for P88 while riding on the iPad's wave. Apple probably will get all the bulk of the negative news now but at this stage it isn't a losing situation yet. What will it be for consumers? It might make more people to look at the pad devices. Mostly like iPad will gain more as P88 isn't avaliable to many places so time will tell who wins more or loses more.
