@kesh yes this is partly because they have a small userbase but lets be honest here the unix based operating system is natually resistant to things of that nature, while windows on the other hand has so many loop holes that its a wonder that it even works half the time. take windows vista for example if you still dont get it. and ive bootcamped my mac because unfortunately the apple userbase is small and many engineering programs are only available on a windows platform. everytime i start the computer up in windows mode, theres at least 3 to 4 updates that it has to download and then install. and its not even vista its XP which was a solid operating system

@apple the reason apple crap doesnt get viruses isnt beacuse of great products its because they dont have a userbase large enough for virus writers to care. i can and have wrote virus for both win and apple products. But back to the point at hand this is pure bs i hope that apple loses hard on this one let steve cash out while its good and let the company rot away.

Yall windows nerds are just upset that Apple knows how to make great products. No viruses on the computers and tons of new innovations with their other electronics. I wouldnt blame them for suing HTC for stealing their ideas. I mean, if we could steal ideas and then use them for ourselves, ill just reinvent the car, call it a droid, and get billions. Seriously, stop crying

This is such BS. really just Android? WinMo and WebOS had multi-touch before Android and still do. But Apple really doesn’t care about patent violations, they just want to kill Android at all costs because Android is the biggest threat. And HTC is the best Android handset maker. Well in this case I hope David slays Goliath and puts Apple to shame.

Apple have had it their way too long with the iPhone and I think these new HTC releases have messed up their plans for the forthcoming iPhone 4g (or whatever it maybe). Don’t be surprised if the new iPhone is lacking when it’s released and hopefully the Apple media machine after throwing a ton of cash at it will come to an halt!

From what I understand in the States Appple could get an injunction to stop HTC selling/distributing their phone until the legal action is completed. This could take a very long time correct me please if I am wrong or have missed a rason for the law suit.

Apple may have missed the obvious with this, attacking HTC is effectively attacking Android and Google will and in fact has thrown its weight behind HTC to protect Android.

Then you have the other handset manufacturers using Android, most larger than HTC (is Apple picking on the boy with glasses?), these themselves must realise that they would be in Apples sights if they succeed against HTC/Google.

Motorola are effectively banking their survival on Android, so it will be in their best interests to get on board with HTC and Google to defend Android.

Next we have Samsung, not in the same do or die situation that Moto are in, but still would not like to see a product stream disappear.

Then we have Sony Ericsson, this is a company that is on the skids, don’t forget that Sony and Ericsson came together in the mobile market because they were failing on their own. They have spent a lot of time a money developing their Android handsets, money they cannot really afford to loose.

So don’t be at all surprised if we see Apple having a legal battle on one hand with Nokia, the largest mobile phone company in the world, whilst fighting pretty much the rest of the mobile phone market in their attack on Android, sorry HTC.

The only outcome of this is some very expensive legal bills for Apple, and a very tarnished reputation that will hit them in their pocket through reduced sales of their products, and more damaging reduced sales through iTunes and the App store.

Microsoft should have never bailed these losers out in 1997. Gates should have left the Apple to rot. How quickly Jobs forgets.

WinMo has just as much to lose in this with HTC developing some of the better WinMo devices out there and WinMo 7 coming up to speed with it’s touch screen. Come on, jump in Microsoft and Google and shut this pompous yuppie down!!
