Patent issues are interesting to watch play out. The patent holder has to prove that their patent MAY include the said technology or idea, then the defendant has to prove that their product is covered by another patent. These things are usually settled out of court, mostly due to the costs related to fighting this in court, and the risk associated with trusting the morons of society in the event that a jury is called in, or the judge has a desire to be "that guy" in the news.

I think that HTC is in the clear, as well as the other companies. This will be a small issue this year.
