No matter what anyone says and the patents involved, no judge in this world will ever ban Android in US or (almost) anywhere else in the world. There are too many manufacturers involved, too many users having phones with the OS, and too many resources spent on this. It's simply too big. Steve Jobs knew that, and giving how a great PR person he was, this might have been just an attempt to put Google's Android in a bad light (which, in the eyes of the non-technical people, he succeeded). Also, no matter what anyone says (brudgers, this is for you), without Apple, we wouldn't have the world full of touch-screen phones we have now. Yes, it is "only" a step forward, but remember, there were already touch-screen phones on the market. And their impact was ZERO. It is apple who built a real user-friendly OS, and conceived hardware that would make the device easy to use. And being honest with ourselves, every other mobile OS after that got it's inspiration from the iPhone OS. Android will be the largest player (in numbers) in the mobile space for a long while because it's simply accessible to everyone. It's Microsoft vs Apple all over again. I sided with Android the day the G1 launched, I never looked back, and I'm not sorry at all. But I will never forget the first iPhone, which started an avalanche.
