If you follow the Barnes & Noble lawsuit case, and if I am the company, Spring Design, I would definitely do the same. It seems too much of a coincidence. Of course, I am not here to judge.
Just a summary of the case. Spring Design showed B&N management their new Alex eReader in February. Of course an NDA (Non disclosure Agreement) was signed to ensure that the information is kept secret. After the meeting, there was no contact between Spring Design and B&N until the release of Nook, which looks so much like Alex eReader. Both has dual LCD screen with the bottom screen being a touch screen and both are Android powered. Look at how close it resembles each other.
