APPLE may be Pipped by Asian Tigers.

Apple biggest weak spot seemed to be its manufacturing in China, but there now emerges a bigger risk which is in the form of law suits and court hearings.


The other Asian Tigers China and Taiwan are now lawsuits against Apple in Korean and US courts.
Samsung is fighting Apple in Korean courts and is winning, while HTC is fighting in the US court.
