Apple Suing Motorola, says XOOM looks just like the iPad

Apple's succesfully blocked the Samsung Galaxy Tab in Australia and the European Union, excluding Netherlands and is now setting its sights on the Motorola Xoom, which it says has been copied from the iPad.

Being wronged?

Those following the reports pertaining to Apple and patent lawsuits would know that the iPad manufacturer is planning to drag every major tablet manufacturer in the space to court, suing them for patent infringement.
