This otherwise silent week has suddenly gone abuzz with the news of the seemingly never-ending Apple - Samsung lawsuit. According to reports, now after the ban of Samsung products in EU, Australia, Korea, the iPad manufacturer is looking at Japan. Apple has reportedly approached the Tokyo District Court with an appeal in the form of a lawsuit to have several of rival Samsung's key products banned in the country. Apple wants Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, as well as its Galaxy Tab 7 banned for sale in Japan.
