Will MS take the chance and sue google or htc too? Or even nokia? :P
Apparently, Palm may have one of the biggest patent portfolios in this area (interesting read: http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/ http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-dept... ), so their chance to join forces with someone?
Nah, probably nothing like that will happen. I just hope that ridiculous patent system in the US will change, it's awful.
- nailer 17y agoI think the reason Apple went after HTC was to establish precedent against the smaller competitor. I recall a patent troll chasing after a very small company re: push email a few years ago as a initial step to getting some cash out of RIM.
- buster 17y agoyes, that's why i am wondering if google will step on HTCs side, as this clearly threatens android. But it also threatens practically every other mobile manufacturer, as HTC is a strong partner for WinMo devices. And not to speak of Nokia or Palm, which could be in trouble in future, although probably not sued by apple. I bet nokia and palm have a shitload of patents, they could probably shut down competition without problems. Just guessing, though.
