This part confused me the most. So, if you infringe on even one claim of all the claims in any patent, you are infringing a patent? We're all screwed.

I only develop on Android at the moment, and sell in the Android Market, and if I limited sales strictly to overseas, I'd be dead in the water. ~80% of all my sales are in the U.S.

I like how the prices are all in the $80-$200 range, it shows that there's value in a good design. Sometimes I wonder how the world would be different if iPhone app developers had originally priced their apps at $10-$50 instead of $1-$5.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, I was only making a statement from one angle. It's too late now, but if I could edit my statement, I would like to point out that the patent could be valid assuming it was very SPECIFIC in its claims, and no

Don't use it. But when the opportunity presents itself, you will KNOW that it's time to use it.

Your market is probably people who garage sale for baby clothes - or go to second-hand shops and don't care if their kids are wearing hand-me-downs. However, those people are finding full outfits for $0.25 Will the same people pay $16.95 pe

To play devil's advocate here, if this patent really can't be worked around reasonably, than this may be, finally, an example of a software patent that is valid and worthy of a patent because it is a true and novel invention.

Are they already licensing S3 patents though? If so, would there not be a contract of some kind in place to stop HTC from just pulling the plug?

All I know is that we need GOOGLE to open up about this issue. What is the future of Android? Should I keep developing apps for Android? Should I be telling my family to buy Android phones? I know that the summary of these patents is one

I think you're going to lose this battle :) I like the new layout and white space, it's much easier for me to read, but I've always liked this style. In fact, I have a tendency to double space much of my code and other coders hate that I d

Off topic? You completely missed the point. He's not complaining about his business model, free competitors, or price. He's venting his frustration with dealing with the Android Market as a developer: 1) Stats seem to keep breaking which se

The worst part is, not only are you right on the money, but you're top #4 are not everyone's top 4, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. For ME, I want 2 things, and have been BEGGING Google for them for a year now. 1) Let me reply to c

Web Design: The business where the more successful you get the more you want to kill the business. If you are in a services business, and you catch the products bug, it's all over. This is my own opinion of course, and based on my own exper

It looks like its USP is that it exports the php and mysql with an installer.

Right, and I don't think Randall's long-winded post really made that clear at all IMO. Basically, the request is: don't make the Gender checkbox mandatory when signing up - or - I guess make it so I can completely hide my Gender.

Can you help me navigate your site? All I see is a demo of what appears to be a map editor, I don't see a game engine to download, or any actual game demos.

I ran a $50 Admob campaign over the weekend for a new FREE app we have on the Android Market. It did exactly what I needed it to, it got me about a hundred downloads. Today, that app has a little over 400 active users. The ball has starte

Every programmer could benefit from taking creative writing courses in college. You are forced to purge your mind of every disorganized thought onto paper, and then go back through as often as necessary until it's right. This may not be a g

This reminds me of when I was about 13 and the web was just starting to get noticed. I was saving all my bookmarks, categorizing them, and I put them on a free hosting account provided by my dialup ISP and shared the page with friends and

Interesting, thanks for the post. 1) I am surprised this is actually a problem that needs solved. 2) I see this more as a product that can be used for free by many and often, but it must promote your other products that you do sell. It cou

It will be insanely foolish if ALL the first invites don't also get about 30 invites themselves, and for those we invite, allow us to send them whatever "share" of our invites we want them to have. So, I can invite a popular friend and give

Agreed, when I am approached to create a game or app for someone the idea is just dead on arrival. The worst part is, the people coming to me are friends, and it's terribly hard when I have to break their hearts. Usually it's not me being

I will agree that this is the best advice on this thread: - Icon looks really bad, needs to look hot. - The gray graphics make it look unfinished. - The balls should be nice and round. You have some pretty powerful hardware to work with no

+100 I just hope that Google will see this and internally realize what's ACTUALLY broken in the Android Market and solve the real problems that exist. I REALLY hope they see these comments and think "I sure wish there were a way to communic

Before this can happen, there needs to be a brain-dead easy to use IDE for creating Flash-like presentations in HTML5. Right now, I see the biggest benefit of Flash being that I can purchase a number of IDE's and create some multimedia (or
