Everyone… IPHONE WAS SHOPPED TO VZW BEFORE CINGULAR/ATT. Jobs wanted complete control and $10 a month from every iPhone inuse. VZW said no. ATT gave it to him for the exclusive. Its just that simple.

Apple = Amazingly innovative.

The iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch look nothing like.

Apple should patent lemons. And then they can suck on it!

this can take years because it doesn’t look like Apple wants to settle anything out of court.

I think the best way to resolve this dispute is to put OS X on a Nexus One, and Android on an iPad….

hmm, come to think of it, neither of those options sounds appealing :(

I so can’t wait for the courts to smash all of Apple’s patent’s into legal applesauce. If Jobs thinks he’s got the holier than thou right to use these gestures, I think all the people doing research & invention in the 1980′s & 1990′s will heavily disagree with them. Apple doesn’t get it. My question is, “how can you patent human movement even on a device?” I just have the feeling that these patents will backfire & Apple’s going to be convicted of violating patents from other companies. I just hope the companies with the real patents force Apple for at least 18 months, take out all those features out of their phones & computers. Then maybe Steve Jobs will learn to behave himself.

Not that the iPhone is a horrible device, but it’s the exclusivity that made it the must-have smartphone. If Steve Jobs opened it up so every Tom, Dick, and Harry had one it would lose a whole lot of luster. Some of it’s features were nice but seriously, a patent for pointing or gesturing is stupid when pointing and gesturing is something we learn before we even talk.
Apple needs to be reigned in and so does the US patent procedure.

Yes, Jobs could have made Apples market share so much bigger if he had ended ATT exclusivity after a year, however I think there is, or was, a method to his madness. You see he was using the rest of the market (Verizon, Tmobile, etc.) as “money in the bank” so if times got tough or after he milked the ATT market dry, just move to the next “fresh” market. But,……………..he never saw Android coming….Bam Baby!! Sucker punch while he wasn’t looking! He didn’t think another phone or OS could ever rival his precious crapple device…..

LOL. The article called Steve Jobs a “master marketer and innovator.”

Sorry, but Steve is a terrible marketer. He’s lucky he’s hired solid marketing folks to help him. His idea of solid marketing is using the same adjectives over and over again to describe his products. And innovator? Other than the Newton, Apple has “innovated” anything. They’ve taken other products and improved upon them (the ipod), but rarely innovated.

From my viewpoint, Steve Jobs looks like a real jerk and a scared bully. He could have made the iPhone’s market share so much bigger if he had not continued with AT&T exclusivity for so long. At one point, everybody wanted an iPhone, and they all would have bought one if it had been available on their chosen carrier. There are still many who would but as Android gets more popular and with Windows phone 7 near, Apple’s window of opportunity is getting smaller and smaller. There is nobody to blame for that but themselves. Did they think they were so good that everybody in the world who wanted an iPhone would switch to AT&T just to use one? I sure wasn’t going to, and I’m now thankful they stuck with AT&T because I like Android and my Nexus One much better.
