Not a lawyer nor an economist-would love to here a explination for how this even came to court. Seriusly round cornered icons are patentable? (If I had the money right now i'd consider getting one of the phones apples complaining about) This does strike me as a bad move apple in terms of the parts and the US phone ecology. They were at one point using samsungs american plants to manufacture the i(name here) stuff. I hope they have someone else ready once the current stock runs out. Unless MS pulls out of the portable market- sooner or later woudn't MS decide attempt to compete (more?) with the iphone? What wories and amuses me is that it looks like the only way for MS and Apple to compete with inovations from google and others is to team up- and when they stop inovating sue them-instead of competing on a even playing field. Other peoples thoughts on this?
