I know the Netherlands judge prefers apple products and has said that in the court case, so handed it over to apple.
I was just in the Netherlands and Iceland, the new Apple 4GS is selling like hotcakes, the new Seri voice activation is like having the world at your fingertips, all you have to do is ask a question and Siri answers it, its unbeliveable, it even answered, " What is a quadratic equation".
