HTC One X Phone Held by Customs Due to ITC Ruling

zacharye writes, quoting BGR: "The launch of Sprint's flagship EVO 4G LTE has been delayed indefinitely and supply of AT&T's flagship HTC One X will be constrained as a result of ongoing patent disputes between HTC and Apple. HTC confirmed in a statement emailed to BGR on Tuesday evening that shipments of its new EVO 4G LTE and One X smartphones have been held up by United States Customs as part of an International Trade Commission investigation. Before the phones can clear Customs, the ITC will need to determine that HTC's new handsets are in compliance with an earlier ruling..."

Apple already destroyed the competition by having a superior product. Symbian, Microsoft and Blackberry phones began a steep decline after the iPhone was introduced, and before any lawsuits. In all markets where there is no legal restriction to selling competing tablets, the iPad still rules.

Do you know of any publicly held companies that aren't even and bent on destroying their competition using all means available including but limited to incessant lawsuits?

You can't be serious.

The vast majority of publicly held companies go about their business without trying to kill off the competition.
Doing so is a costly distraction, which seldom ever succeeds. Its far more often found that big companies form
trade associations and collude than go after each other with daggers. Having competition is very useful.
Not having competition simply invites regulation. That's why MacDonalds gets along with Burger King,
AT&T and Verizon share tower space, Union Pacific and Burlington Pacific and Santa Fe share tracks, Bayer
cross licenses with Pfizer.

Your assumption that all publicly traded companies are in a death struggle suggests a hopelessly paranoid
view of corporations that seems to be in vogue today.
