Samsung Could Abandon Australian Galaxy Tab Launch Plans.

A new report by Bloomberg lays a bleak future for Australian Galaxy Tab hopefuls — The company’s planned launch of the 10.1″ device will essentially be abandoned in the country if Samsung can’t win a reverse ruling of some sort within the next couple of weeks.

The news is depressing, though not surprising. The Galaxy Tab has already been delayed from entering the Australian market for a solid two months. With the holiday season quickly approaching, entering the market much later will essentially destroy any chance the Galaxy Tab had. Not to mention, the next-gen dual- and quad-core hardware should start popping up.

With an Australian launch appearing down for the count, we’re left to hope the other major lawsuits in Japan, Korea, and The Netherlands reach a more formidable solution, and sooner rather than later.
