Apple won’t sue Palm because Palm can sue them back. Apple and Palm can infringe on each other’s patents all they like because if either one sues the other, they’d both take a heavy hit. It’s basically like the cold war. Apple is going to sue HTC simply because they can and it’s good for their own business. Almost every company steals patents. It’s just the really big ones manage to have an unspoken “if you don’t sue me, I won’t sue you” kind of agreement. I’m a Mac user and a big fan of Apple. However, I do not agree with this case because innovation is there to be improved on and taken to the next level, not patented and sold to those who can afford it.

Whahahahaha…!!!!! S.J. & his rotten @pple, what has he gotta sue only HTC? Pick on Google, Samsung, Acer, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson & many others who are members of Open Handset Alliance (OHA) if you can. If @pple cannot beat members of OHA, JOIN them! Droid ROCKS!! >(:|

Read some of the posts lamenting the infantile anger of the other posts.

Its a bread and butter issue to me and for a lot of people.

Android is an open system where people can download ANY application – including adult apps.
In the longer term there will be a much larger developer base for Android, and a whole new industry will explode from that.

I was also hoping that Android would be the end of the death grip that cellular service providers have on content access and content distribution.

At the end of the day it’s business for apple, if people don’t like apple don’t buy it’s products, when the sales goes down apple would change the ways that they do business, all the cry here would not be heard especially a corporation like apple :-).

At the end of the day it’s the court ruling and people choosing to buy apple/htc/android enabled products which actually matters.

I have to say as much as i hate apple and the lame arse %$#%* that support them, their patent for a multitouch device does in fact hold water US 7,633,076 B2.. but the Patent is so vague it literally can be adapted to any phone with a touchscreen that can receive multiple commands at once via a multi touch screen. they are going to try and milk every supporting patent possible that relates to this one patent.

@ohwow……I don’t know enough about this to say a whole lot but if Steve is afriad of his ipone being passed up…that would make sense seeing the types of Android phones out and on the way. I do like the way you make points I must say but believe me if apple had such a website…u would hear just as bad comments about Google/Android as well…and probably worse. Also look at the comments Steve said in one of his latest meeting about Google…&ust Google it…and then tell me…is he such a decent well spooken rep? And are those who cheer for him…are they such decent well spoken followers?

@gaggle has a point. Protecting intellectual propety is well within the rules of FAIR competition. Apple could prove that their patents are indeed infringed upon by HTC and come out on top (if thats true, HTC is the bad guy and we should not support them), on the other hand Apple could lose and it could all backfire spectacularly. And that is for the courts to decide.

In the meantime, the Android fan mob has proven to be even more rabid than the infamous Apple fanbois.

Android is a ripoff of iPhone. Schmidt used his board position inappropriately and was threatented. Give Apple credit no one else had the vision to take a mature mobile phone market and turn it on their ears. Why shouldn’t they be able to protect their inventions?

For those interested in the actual content rather than childish name calling, Engadget lists all 20 allegedly infringed patents.

IMPORTANTLY, they also include a short analysis of what each patent means, as patent names often bear no relationship and appear to be broader than what is actually patented.

Gizmodo has the listed 20 patents ‘infringed’ upon on their website. Just to all who’re curious.
