5 lines of text and a stab at nokia anyway. for those interested the link above has a link to the patent disputes.

Whoa.. Engadget is given a lot of crap for that article in the comments. I guess it's not just us who think they are a dash biased...

This must be terrible, horrifying news for 95% of the engadget 'employees'. Hopefully they won't do a 'Foxconn' off the roof...

Let's face it. iPhones are made in China; China is the bootleg capital of the World.

Maybe Apple don't do the copying directly, maybe they leave it up to the Chinese to reverse engineer the best of the rest, then hope to apply diplomatic immunity. Must save a fortune in R&D.

yeah shure, iphones are designed in China, and iOs coded up in India.



or maybe not :)

Hmm, from now on when I see people using their iPhones, I will just smile and think: NOKIA Connecting people :)

And no, I am not a fanboy :D

I think many of you here don't understand patents.

It is about the idea. You don't have to steal someones implementation to infringe on one's patent portfolio.

Both Nokia and Apple have separate implementations.

Patents ****.

This is great news!
Now Elop has more money to fund all his MS-backed projects!
He can bury MeeGo faster!
or not.

Wrong. Patents are about the specific implementation to achieve the purpose. If you somehow use that implementation no matter to what purpose, you are in a danger of infringing.

How come this important question completely gets ignored...? Why bother with the logistic and the bureaucracy, what's done is done. But I would like to know which patent Apple will now be using.
