And yet another reason to prove apple is gay aswell as its users. They cant handle a phone thats better then theirs.
I dont know why anyone gave them the right to patent a motion. Are they going to patent high fives next?
and apparently they patented rounded edges in Australia.
Seems ppl were jumping to conclusions again.... more so the s2. Series is the target

It's not uncommon for Apple to target Samsung, Motorola...or Android for that matter. Whether or not Apple actually has a case is above me, but it's apparent both of these OS use or "borrow" features from the other...a self-made "improved" version of the former.

I can't stand this patent stuff
I understand companies waiting to protect intellectual property
But apple and other companies are going to far.
I think only their devices and distinct styles should be patented

how so? iOS still accounts for a signifigant (even if it isn't majority) & of smartphones. Apple owns that entire portion of the pie where as the android portion is shared by a handful of companies. Plus they got a name. As long as they put out a half decent product, it will sell.
can't these guys just drop all the lawsuits and actually improve their os/ui? seriously.. most of the time they just sue each other instead of improving things -.-

Your logic is flawed. He didn't say that they were doing poorly, he simply said they are going for anything and everything they can. Maybe they want to own more of the market, maybe they are afraid of android getting ahead... Just because iOS is doing well doesn't mean they aren't getting defensive lately.

Bah you guys must be new to the Anti Apple party .......... i've had a complete unilateral ban on all Apple products (except quicktime...*sigh*) since about 1990 !!!
What i find most perverse and ironic about Apple is that they ARE the Stalinist, monolithic, all seeing, all controlling, big brother, facelessly corporate, tech company the much famed old Apple advertisement painted every other tech company to be. And whats more they always where. Developing nation sweat shop worker conditions is only the tip of the iceberg where Apple are concerned ....... you can be sure Bono will never do another Apple advert ... lol.

Absolutely. It's like dominoes. The G-Tab 10.1 and GN are the first to fall. With those victories, Apple's going to rapidly expand the number of devices they go after using Judge Koh’s ruling as ammunition. The G-Tab's a design patent so that's harder to enforce but multi-source search is on every Android device. Judge Koh somehow linked it to Siri but it's really the entire Google search system. It's also kind of related to the HTC ITC issue where a single event provides multiple actions to choose from. This really isn't good for us, Android, and competition in general. I hope Apple rots (no pun intended).

That's exactly what I'm saying. The Nexus isn't the only Android device that users multi-source search.
I never had a problem with Apple before but they are forcing consumers to buy ONLY their products. Either we can have a crippled phone or an iPhone and that's just wrong.
Btw I didn't know Apple had a patent on Siri.
Goggle kinda shot itself in the foot by not obtaining patents for the stuff they had years before anyone else.
Apple does ****ty business. They take others' ideas and then patent them as their own.

Double post.
Keep in mind that the ban is only in effect until the actual trial. If this same idiot judge presides over the actual trial and apple wins there's no way it survives appeal. That's my hope anyway. By the time this gets to trial the gnex will be replaced by the next nexus device.
Keep in mind the ban hasn't actually been seen since apple must post $95 mil for the ban to actually take effect. You can still purchase from the play store.
And you all act like apple has already won. With something this big, there will likely be a large settlement and apple will get its money and Android will make a few tweaks and for the most part still be the same.
Edit: I will eat my own words, it is not available. The 96 million dollars was posted by apple last night to enforce the ban...

Best buy is still selling the Tab 2 10.1
It's banned as well
Apple is worth 500 billion. 95M is chump change to post up thanks to the minions who think their devices are just so fantastic and useful.
Posted from my iPad....haha
The ban only affects the original G-Tab 10.1. All the other sizes and all the "2" devices are still for sale. The GN has been removed from the PlayStore and now says "coming soon." In better news a UK judge through out three of Apple's patent claims against HTC and disqualified a fourth.
Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was the tab 2.
Happy Independence Day....Everyone needs just chill out. Google, Samsung and Apple - all are multi-billion dollar companies looking out after themselves. :laugh:

Because if Apple wins this then they will most likely come after other or all Android manufacturers.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
If Apple wins and if it sets a legal precedent then be sure that everyone else would have to either pony up or deploy a workaround. The thing is; in software patents, as ridiculous they are - workarounds are easy. The problem happens when Samsung copies the whole design as they did with some variants of original galaxy s. But, by the time courts take a look at the case, the model becomes obsolete and new versions are launched.

While I think it's stupid, it's not the judges fault. Their job is to make the decision based on whether the patent was infringed or not, even if they think the patent was stupid (haven't heard from the judge so I can't say what their personal beliefs on the matter are) if it was infringed they have to rule in favor of Apple if they believe there to be infringement.
I do not know why everyone is riding the judge for her decision. It is her job to interpret the law and use other cases as guidelines. Apple is winning in the US, but mostly losing in the UK.
But, yes, Apple is losing marketshare to Android. The more mature thumb optimized touchscreen smartphones become, the more options OEMs must give consumers. That Apple one phone a year model will cease to work magic and they will find themselves in a position they do not want to be in - no more of that high margin, one device fits all once a year, planned obsolecense all wrapped around a marketing hype machine.
Well when your backs up against the wall, thats the time to become creative.
Apple is only taking a little chip with the voice search on ics but google will fix it for now until they get that idea (like pull down notifications, Genius!!) and make apple and its customers jealous. Steve Jobs (rest in peace, great man) is gone and apple is stuck re releasing the same crap just fixed up. Ex. The New Ipad, better screen, faster. and Iphone 4s, faster, with some dumb virtual assistant. Only people like Samuel L Jackson use Siri like the commercial shows but all of us get bored within hours. Apple is staring at a blank page and the essay is due tomorrow. There really isn't any must have, new technology(like front facing camera or dual core processors, and 3d screen) out right now that would get people buying them instead of android. Android stepped up, with play and jellybean and there is going to be much more to come. The Gnex will be back in a week, badder and better than ever.
If i was Google Ceo and some kid like Apple wants a fight, I get Jellybean on every new device and most popular old ones, then pull youtube off iphones. but then again im not the Ceo.

Worst case scenario is that usa would have to have a heavily neutered version of the os.
There is prior art that predates the patent application by a year so that could be useful in a court case.

Believe it or not the patent even covers widgets, if you read the whole patent it's about half way down. And it covers email, scrolling through lists, stuff people did long before apples patent.
But by specifying a multi touch portable device in their description this patent applies to literally any mobile device and if they were able to find a sympathetic judge such as Judge Koh they could cause problems for victims, I mean people stealing their ideas (oops), of their choosing.

Actually the ITC blocking the import of Android devices illegal. They technically do not have the authority to do so. Apple applies to all of these patents under FRAND. So, when they sue, they aren't giving anyone a chance to license the patent. Senators (as of last week) have decided to step in to fix the broken tech patent system, so I don't think this is the end of anything. If Google just throws in the towel and gives up, Apple will clearly have a monopoly (wp7, wp8, RIM have hardly any market share) and then they are screwed as well.
Freedom it is This stupid war will never end.
It kinda reminds me of some old movies, where big Firms own everything.....even the whole Country.......CHEERS .......

I mean doesn't taking somebody's 'idea', running with it and then crushing them with it kind of even more douchey than what Apple have been doing lately?
It's the perfect counterclaim though, it could get the whole thing thrown out of court, which would be nice.
