I was looking at SAMSUNG TOMORROW Global and the image at Galaxy Tab 10.1 – Minimalist Design.
It is clear just by viewing the title of that web page that Samsung has also adopted a minimalist design focus, similar to Apple products, but “minimalist” means just that, there is not a lot of design there to be similar to. It is simply a rectangle with rounded corners and a bezel (frame) around the rectangular LCD or similar display.
