I'm just trying to say it's not as black and white as you guys think it is, there's gotta be something more to this as Apple's ideas have been being copied for decades (and they have copied from others) but they've never done this before. I don't understand where this recent legal stint has come from but we can't be Android fans and act like Apple are nothing but a thorn in our sides, it'd be like having (and loving) a PlayStation Move but dispising Nintendo; you KNOW they made it happen in the first place, Nintendo just seem to be better sports about it all than Apple are being right now.

But seriously come on, we must be mature and look at this objectively, there are reasons for all this, I just hope the case can be dealt with without causing too much damage to either product. The fierce competition is what has made these phones so damn good.

I know you all love to hate Apple but as a neutral tech fan I must note that this all seems very out of character for them. Somebody put iOS to shame? So make iOS better in response, keep things moving, don't just try to stamp them out with legal bullying, it's pathetic.

Edit: Just wanted to add my two cents to the stupid "Bill Gates' tablet PC" trend as it was brought up... That was a completely different device... A stylus-cobtrolled slab with a desktop OS, modern tablets are all about the multitouch and apps. And you don't hear people whining about how Mac OS pioneered icons and mouse control but Windows gets the glory, and why would you? It'd be silly. I'm not sure where everybody got this chip on their shoulder. Rejoice in competition. If the iPhone 5 turns out brilliant that gives Google motivation to make their next version even better and so on. I may not be a fan of the iPad but I am grateful for what it started and helps to push.

Apple isn't suing MS because the two have agreements in place to share patents and developments. There is nothing intelligent or necessary about what Apple is doing, period. Read the facts and feel free to comment on them but don't come in telling us we all need to step back and look at things objectively when we already have. Apple's idiocy is clear in this matter.

If android goes down, it won't be without a fight. I'd rather have the both of them dead before apple dominates. Even android started the same year as apple released the iPhone. IPhone is igay. Every apple product I see will be burnt by chuck norris and Steve jobs can go suck android's balls. I have a feeling Wozniak is kind of mad too, having an android on the side of an apple, and even liking android os. I will piss on Steve Job's grave. I will dance on it and plant a time bomb in it.

Funny, your username just happens to be iKoolkid...maybe Apple is going to sue you for that

I'm changing the thread title guys, it doesn't sound appropriate anymore

Google is using Motorola patents to sue apple.... the war is won.

No, they've done this exact same thing before. Copied from xerox, sued others for copying them.

I've been saying this for pages, but you lot aren't listening because you don't want to hear my non-biased take on it. Fanboys, the lot of ya.

And I find your take to be incredibly naive. Apple has repeatedly demonstrated that they will not stop with their legal shenanigans unless someone forces them to. Indeed, as I've already pointed out to you, they've been doing this since even before software patents became mainstream.
