I find the whole patent wars really annoying as a developer/user. I think some of the features are more of a natural flow of the user experience then something that should be patented. Rotating screens, switching apps, multi-tasking, these are what makes a smart phone smart, not something that can be owned by some company limiting competition on user expected/required features. Apple you make a good phone, now stop limit competition, same goes for everyone else.
