The article stated that Palm One and Symbian use a similar system in
their mobile OSes, and this patent would force them to discontinue this
practice. So the problem *isn't* press coverage, it's that the US
patent office is aiding and abetting Microsoft's monopolistic
practices.

The problem is more in the press coverage, I think. This is not a
double-clicking patent; it is a patent on a specific way to combine
click, press, and double-click on cell-phone like devices in order to
launch applications. I've not aware of any prior art which meets the
patent claims, though I'm not an expert on the latest cell phone and
PDA
user interfaces.
For those who want to read the actual patent, it's available at:
