Apple and ACCC iPad mediation fails

Mediation between Apple and Australia's competition watchdog has ended without a resolution. The next phase of the case will be determined at a directions hearing this afternoon before Justice Mordecai Bromberg of the Federal Court in Melbourne. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission took the world's biggest company to court on March 27 after it failed to respond to its concerns that the name of its new tablet – iPad Wi-Fi + 4G – would mislead Australian consumers.
