Apple Patents Using Apps During Calls

Posted by Soulskill on from the that-sounds-a-great-idea dept.

bizwriter writes "Apple has had quite a week in patents for the iPhone, and it's only Tuesday. First was the victory at the International Trade Commission over HTC. And now there's a shiny new patent on switching to an app during a live phone call (#8,082,523). There may be non-infringing ways of doing something similar, but they probably will be clumsy in comparison."

    Apple deserves no good will from anybody.

    But the freakish cult of Apple zealots will defend Apple anyway.
