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. |

| 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-. |

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.
ing america and their law-suits, srsly... :whip:
apple is seriously ing with the free market; there have been serious rumours (contradiction? :p ) 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. |
