Oh for heavens sake. You must be trying very, very hard not to understand this. In Germany, there were two relevant laws: Copying a device protected by a "Community design", and "unfair competition". In the Netherlands, only one relevant law: Copying a device protected by a "Community design". Therefore the court in Düsseldorf, which assumed at the time it could rule for the whole EU, _knew_ that it couldn't rule for the Netherlands on grounds of "unfair competition".
I worded my response as such because you have implied in your previous posts that The Neatherleands has no competition laws? Hence my response. And I find it quite funny when Apple tried to get a Europe wide ban from a court who's powers have alway's been restricted to Germany. Apple will need to go VERY high up to ban a product EU wide because is looked like some drawings it made!

@hot spare, my thoughts exactly which is why I didn't bother replying, plus the fact in the UK we have had 3G video calling phones for years BOTH dumb phone and smart phone. You used to even be able to get free video calling minutes in your packages.
But hey, if you use an iPhone to do it your umber cool, use an Android device and you are a geek - the epitome of Apple's achievement, make your users believe they are better then everybody else

Many Apple customers rely on/demand/expect Apple to make those decisions for them. They are after all the experts and someone you trust.
That is so wrong IMO, so by your thinking all Mac Rumors members and readers are incapable of choice, they are incapable of choosing what they do and don't want, what does and doesn't work? Because Apple are better at it then you are?
You'll love the new computers running iOS then.
