It seems to me that there are only so many ways to design a thin, tablet-like device. How different would Samsung have needed to make its tablet so as not to have been affected by this to begin with?

I don't really know much of the background surrounding "community design rights", but I really think that this is a slippery slope to head down.

Competitors should do battle in the free market - not in the court systems.

Let consumers sort out which is the better product. They have no problems doing this without the aid of an injunction.

This stifling of competition via the court system is just another avenue to stagnate progress within the electronics industry.
