The judge's justification here sounds flimsy at best. Both tablets are "minimalist and modern" with "flat screens and round edges"? So Samsung can only make archaically designed tablets, if possible with a curved screen?

And then: "The court is of the opinion that Apple's minimalistic design isn't the only technical solution to make a tablet computer," Brueckner-Hoffmann explained, "other designs are possible."

I'm not a lawyer, so I might get laughed out here, but this just seems like a ridiculous claim. Other designs are possible, that much is true. You can make a car with 5 wheels and the engine in the passenger's seat too, doesn't mean there's going to be a market for it. My common sense might be too common, but I hope this gets thrown out at higher levels of the court.

Edit: To clarify, I own neither, and I am not interested in either, I just found the situation too absurd not to chime in.
