Re: Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 Patents...
Salty Dawg and Recursion -- I didnt mean to bring up something off the topic (sorry OP) and get you two into a debate. I see both sides of the issue, but I feel if I can buy the hardware legally and the software legally that are compatible without someones logo on the case then I should have the right to combine the two. I personally like my TP2 with WinMo that I can do almost anything too. I also like that even though its experimental I can load Droid based roms on it.
But back on topic, how many copy machines, touch screen displays, credit card machines, etc utilize device functions based upon pressing graphics on the screen? Or other mobile phone vendors that use touch screens for that matter. Apple isn't suing them (yet) for using similar technology, instead they go after a big company with lots of money to tie things up in litigation for a couple of years and destroy their profits while hoping to drive prices higher for the rest of us.
Hopefully the judge is not an iPhone user or at least sees that the patent is too vague.
I think if Apple was truly an ingenious brand with smart engineers they would one up everyone with a better device or at the minimum end their exclusive agreements to truly compete on the open market like everyone else.
Just my thoughts.
