As a result of the ongoing legal tussle between Samsung and Apple, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 was removed from display at this year’s IFA in Berlin. The story goes that Apple managed to secure a court order that bans the sale and marketing of the product in Germany.
A court in Germany ordered Samsung to remove all traces of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from the show floor of trade show, IFA, in an extension of the ban imposed previously on the larger Tab 10.1.
This drama is likely to go on as a Samsung spokesman told Bloomberg that even though they respect the court’s decisions, the game is on and they are going to continue to pursue this case.
Samsung decided to comply with the court’s decision, made on Friday, despite the Tab 7.7 being on display at IFA since launch the previous day and most technology websites, including this one, getting their hands on the tablet. "Samsung respects the court's decision and therefore decided not to display any more the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the IFA," a statement said.

Moreover, Samsung never stop producing their flagship mobile devices in the range of smartphones and tablet Galaxy.
