Samsung has run an advertisement in the Australian Sun-Herald this week, declaring the Galaxy Tab as 'the tablet Apple tried to stop', reports Engadget.

Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Samsung Australia's vice president of telecommunications, Tyler McGee, credits Apple for making the Galaxy Tab a household name.

"At the end of the day the media awareness certainly made the Galaxy Tab 10.1 a household name compared to probably what it would've been based on the investment that we would've put into it from a marketing perspective," McGee explained.

McGee says Samsung will be bringing to market as many units as they can and believes the device will be in "short supply against the demand."

This is pathetic. They had to use Apple's name in their advertising. Do they really have nothing else to say?
