Anonymous, 29 Dec 2011who cares of the Lawsuits? the end user sees the final product and its value for money.. everyone cars about the lawsuit status, because in the end the end user will not be able to use a certain function anymore on there phone because the company lost the lawsuit, you must be 12 years old.

Cheap crappy OS, create your own OS why dont you
Steal the foundat... moreAndroid "steals" its foundations from iOS. That means iOS runs on a GPL licensed Linux kernel.
APPLE is stealing from an entire generation of developers then.
:P
Seriously, I have noticed that the quality of the trolls on the internet is decreasing.

apple lost steve jobs with his vision and foresights. you can't go around messing with patent infringements. it will not benifit in a long run. on top of that, recent reports has shown apple had lost its ground in market shares. competition is healthy and look how fast technology has evolved. speaking of legal wars, iphone is simply a product of great hardwares, chips that are put together from other manufacturers. i have to give credits to their innovations on ios and designs. but tables are turned and they are better equipped andriod phones out there. apple fans, hards facts are hard to swallow. stop bashing around and face the reality. ios make a iphone great. "the earth is round. if you build a dam to stop the water from flowing through. eventually it will flow in the opposite direction and reaches the other side of the dam." this legal battle is a blessing in disguise. if you patent this, others will come out with a better one. eventually, you will lost the race.

But isn't it ironic. Apple uses Nokia's technology under license but refuses to license their's. Apple should just face the competition.

The reason they don't want to license their patent is because Android is better than iOS. Though it has a few rough edges, it is still better and that is something Apple doesn't want many people to find out. It is for this reason that they also tried to block the sales of the reworked/redesigned Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Block it long enough till the iPad 3 is released and then some tech journalists begin to sing Apple's praises that the iPad 3 is the best. Though I haven't used the iPad 2, I prefer the Galaxy Tab P1000 (7 inches) to the iPad 1.

Charging a license fee would damage low-end models the most, since the proportion of this levy on the profit margin would be the most significant compared to highly profitable high end models.
Apple, and its iPhone as a high end model, with comfortable market share and mind share and developer base, is reasonable in persecuting its strongest rivals HTC and Samsung that produce high end Android devices that directly rival the iPhone.
Microsoft, nascent and looking to make its debut in the low-end with new Nokia devices, wants to target the overall market share of Android, and what better way then to target low-end models which sell the most? Through this, it can then compete in terms of developer base and market share.
