Apple has filed a lawsuit for patent infringement towards the phone manufacturer HTC, which uses the Androis OS in many of their phones.

quote:

Taoyuan, Taiwan–July 16, 2011 – HTC received notice of the ITC judge’s initial determination in the Apple vs. HTC case, ITC No. 337-TA-710. Apple originally asserted 10 of its patents against HTC in March 2010, and the judge ruled today that HTC infringed on 2 patents. HTC does not yet have access to the judge’s full opinion and analysis to determine the details of his findings.

Read about this a couple of days ago. Hopefully HTC will win the appeal.

I love my HTC, fuck you apple!

As the article says, if they lose the appeal it could be a pretty big blow to Android phones in general in the US. I agree with you though Stu, as much as I am a fan of Apple products, I think with phones in particular there really needs to be competition.

Why try and innovate when you can just sue?

This reeks of lame-as-fuck.

What's more likely is that HTC will pay Apple to continue to use their patents. From what I understand, HTC already pay apple for some kind of thing that their smartphones do. Multi-touch or something? I forget now.

Well part of the suit is that Apple did innovate and they're claiming that HTC and Android copied them.

Apple's just got sand in their vagina cause all they're doing these days is playing catch-up to google-- Instead of pushing development forward they're now suing everybody. Microsoft did/is doing exactly the same thing, suing every company who has ever made a product similar to one they've made.

fucking america and their law-suits, srsly...

apple is seriously fucking with the free market; there have been serious rumours (contradiction? ) that Apple is the reason the Samsung Galaxy S II has taken so long to get to the US... Instead of making better products they're just trying to hijack other's successes.
