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.

Re:No iPads are $500 because they are Apple by russotto · 2010-10-31 02:34 · Score: 1, Troll

The responses usually are that Apple is in fact good value for money because you get this and that and the cheaper competition doesn't, etc. etc. Even Apple PR itself will say this when trolled.
Now cue to Apple, corporate site, where they don't talk customer language but investor language. Why should I buy AAPL, according to Apple? According to Apple, because of their profit maximization. Funny, that.
What makes you think they are contradictory? Apple can provide good value for money AND make great profits. They aren't selling commodities, identical with those of their competitors aside from price.
