No, you didn’t read the headline wrong — Samsung is claiming their Galaxy Tab 10.1 couldn’t be a copy of Apple’s iPad because… it was copying the earlier movie prop from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Well, okay, not copying — more like maintaining the design elements were commonplace in pop culture, especially science fiction. One of the ways to invalidate a patent is to prove prior art — that someone had the idea before the company who was awarded the patent.

Since everyone from HAL’s buddy Dave to the Enterprise D’s Captain Jean Luc Picard used tablet-like devices, Samsung seems to be asking, how could Apple possibly have been granted the design patent?

Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents stops short of calling it either genius or a stunt.

It would be amazing if the court agreed with Samsung that this constitutes prior art for that particular iPad-related design patent. Whether or not Samsung will succeed, the mere fact that they proffer this kind of evidence is remarkable and will be exciting for many fans of movies in general — and of that movie in particular — to find out about.

Hopefully Samsung hasn’t seen Dick Tracy or Apple’s nano watch might be next!

What’s the next iOS device you plan on buying? I’m guessing a lot of the TiPb Nation is waiting for the iPhone 5, but is anyone going to skip it and hold out for the iPhone 6? Maybe you hope that Apple discounts the existing iPhone 4 like usual, or puts out a budget iPhone nano instead?

The iPad 3 sounds like it’s not coming this fall after all, but are you planning to get it shows up this spring? Or does a new iPod touch 5 fit your needs better?

What if Apple finally makes a real iOS powered iPod nano, one that works amazingly well as a watch and shows all your notifications? Anyone else besides me really want one? And if they finally let Apple TV go a full 1080p, would that be on your shopping list?

Let me know what you plan on buying in the poll below, and give me the reasons why — or better yet, why not! — in the comments below!

British Airways is currently rolling out iPads to some of its cabin crew members to see how it can improve customer service. The iPads will be distributed initially to 100 cabin crew with the aim to carry on the roll out to all senior cabin crew in the following months.

The iPads will be used to gain instant access to on board customer preferences such as where they are seated, who they are travelling with and if they have any special dietary requirements. On top of that, the iPads will have access to flight times, safety manuals and customer service updates.

Bill Francis, British Airways’ head of inflight customer experience, said: “The iPad is already allowing us to offer a more personalised onboard service, but the possibilities for future development are endless. We’re receiving great feedback from cabin crew and customers already.  It allows the crew to offer the thoughtful service they want to deliver and customers are treated as valued guests.”

The iPads will be connected to a 3G network while the plane is on the tarmac; allowing them to have complete real time passenger lists. Currently this is done with a long scroll of paper which lists up to 337 passengers!

If you currently jailbreak your Apple TV 2, you may have held off from applying the recent Apple software update to avoid losing your jailbreak. The good news is, Seas0nPass has now been updated to support an untethered jailbreak with the latest iOS 4.3 for Apple Tv 2. Thrown into the update is a new version of fireCore’s Media Player which allows you to playback many more media formats with a whole host of options.

The  iOS 4.3 update added a couple off new features for the Apple TV 2 like Vimeo support. It is well worth an update now that this jailbreak is available. Just simply update your Apple TV 2 software to the latest version then jailbreak again using the latest aTV Flash (black) Beta6.

Microsoft offers subscription music via their Zune service, and now another iPhone and iPad rival, RIM’s BlackBerry, might be joining the party. Kevin from CrackBerry.com has the scoop:

• Users will have to download the new standalone BlackBerry music app from App World
• Once installed, there should be a free trial (may vary by country/carrier – but expect a month free)
• Once the free trial expires, the service will cost $ 5/mo.
• With the app installed, you can choose up to 50 songs of your choice. Apparently the catalog selection is pretty good!
• From there, you invite your contacts via BBM, etc. to also download the app if they don’t have it and join your music sharing network (invited contacts must pay the $ 5/mo. also to take part and remain part of the service).
• From there, you can listen to not only the 50 songs you’ve selected), but any of the 50 songs from your music sharing network. So if you have 20 contacts, you’ll have access to 1,000 other songs in addition to your 50. We’re not sure yet if there’s a limit to how many people you can share with, but essentially the more people in your music sharing group the more music you’ll have access to.

While Apple offers music downloads via iTunes, and will offer a music locker via iTunes Match, they don’t currently have a subscription service nor do they have a way to share music (though they do have a network of sorts — Ping).

That means iOS users who want subscriptions need a third party service like Pandora, Spotify, Slacker, Rdio, last.fm, etc.

Are Apple users missing out here?
