Apple has managed to block sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/09/apple-blocks-sale-of-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-in-eu/">in Australia</a> and in <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/09/apple-blocks-sale-of-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-in-eu/">the European Union</a>, but new evidence from <em>Computerworld’s</em> Dutch sister site <em>Webwereld.nl</em> suggests the iPad maker may be tampering with evidence. According to the report, Apple is using an image of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that is purposely distorted to look more like the iPad. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is presented with an aspect ratio of 1.36 (the proportions of the device itself, not the display) while the iPad is shown with a 1.30 aspect ratio. However, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet itself actually has a 1.46 aspect ratio. “This is a blunder,” Klos Morel Vos & Schaap lawyer Arnout Groen told <em>Webwereld.nl. “</em>That such a ‘mistake’ is made in a case about design rights can scarcely be a coincidence. The aspect ratio of the alleged Galaxy Tab is clearly distorted to match the iPad more closely. Inasmuch as this faux pas will have consequences for the case is of course up to the judge. But at least a reprimand by the German court seems to be in order,” he added. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/12/samsung-to-appeal-eu-galaxy-tab-10-1-ban-on-august-25th/">Samsung is set to appeal</a> the European Union ban on August 25th. Read on for a comparison image of the alleged doctored Galaxy Tab 10.1 next to the real one.<span id="more-100259"></span>
