Samsung wants to see upcoming Apple iPhone 5 and iPad 3

Apple and Samsung’s legal battle continues to get more interesting. Earlier this week, a judge ordered Samsung to let Apple see some upcoming unreleased devices (the Galaxy S II, Infuse 4G, DROID Charge, Galaxy Tab 8.9, and Galaxy Tab 10.1) to let determine whether they should be part of the lawsuit.

Samsung has responded with a motion of its own, asking to see the upcoming iPhone 5 and iPad 3 as part of a similar discovery process. Samsung would abide by the same rules as Apple would with only outside counsel having access to the devices.
