This is true to an extent. The issue here is that Apple's growth in t=
he smart phone market worldwide is nearly exponential. Remember that iPhon=
es did not exist 3 years ago and now they are the third biggest smart phone=
seller. Nokia is losing a lot of business to Apple, as is RIM. If you th=
ink that Nokia and RIM are not aware of this and are in defensive mode, you=
are fooling yourself. I have a friend who works for Motorola's mobile dev=
ices division and he was telling me flat out that Apple's iPhone is "killin=
g' their business and that is a quote from him. Companies will do whatever=
it takes to protect their business, and if the shoe was on the other foot,=
Apple would surely be involved in a similar tactic. It's how business is =
done these days, I'm afraid, among manufacturers protecting their technolog=
ies.
As for the lawsuit itself, yes, it will go away. There will be behind=
the scenes deals made. The last one Nokia tried fell short, so I don't kn=
ow what this one is about now. There are so many patents owned by various =
manufactures that are so close in description that it all gets ridiculous w=
hen you try to interpret their application. From my understanding written =
in several articles, if Apple truly wanted to be the cut throat, cold, nast=
y company some portray them as being, they could take Google, Microsoft and=
other companies to court over specific aspects of the touch screen patent =
technology they particularly own and have solid, legal grounds to tie them =
up in court for quite some time.
