We already reported that Apple succeeded in getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 blocked from most of Europe. The exception was the Netherlands, and the proceedings came to a close today. Apple presented market research that 80% of respondents felt that the iPad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 were “identical” or at least “similar in general impression.” Apple also alleged infringement from the Galaxy S and Galaxy Ace. Samsung argued that Apple's arguments were so vague that any digital photo frame would be an infringement.

The judge seemed amused at the arguments and called the legal representatives “terriers.” He finished by saying a ruling would come down on September 15th, and if an injunction were to come, it would be October 13th. If you are in the Netherlands and you are thinking about getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1, you have at least 63 days to save up your money.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
