Apple Counter-Sues Motorola Over Touchscreen Patents

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday October 30, 2010 @06:14PM from the round-and-round-we-go dept.

Earlier this month, we discussed news that Motorola had sued Apple, alleging infringement of 18 patents involving the iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices. In response, Apple has now launched a pair of lawsuits alleging that Motorola is the infringing party, pointing to a number of patents involving touchscreen displays and multi-touch technology, and also methods for interacting with settings and data on a device. Apple wants the court to award them damages and prevent Motorola from continuing to sell the offending devices, which include the Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, BackFlip, Devour i1, Devour A555, Cliq, and Cliq XT.

I think you meant iProgress. It's shipping with every new copy of iLife '11.

Bullshit, software and a tight integration with hardware costs more money. On the MS side, you don't give a flying rat's ass about software, the evidence is the crap MS produces. FOSS only feeds into the feeling that software costs nothing or has little value. Apple's "flash" is because they spend the time to actually produce something people want to buy. Your problem is with peoples' wants, not what Apple is producing.
