yes, i love this forum...just had bad experiences in others....try bringing up a topic referring to anything even remotely near *whispers* Nintendo 64 emulation, and the most bored, living in their basement on their computer, life-less members of a forum descend like wolves to tell you how stupid you are, no matter what you say. i haven't experienced that here at maemo.org yet, thankfully.

i agree completely, apple is ridiculous. Should wearing two gloves instead of one be patented?

apple didn't invent multi-touch, they were simply the first to implement it. if apple can patent multi-touch, IBM should patent computing in-general and sue everybody. hell, i'm going to go out and patent reality and get astronomically rich.

honestly, i wish there were a simple answer to the question in the title of this thread. i think there is wrongdoing at both ends of the spectrum.

i just suggest if you make great software for any of the nokia tablets for example, make it a reasonable price (less than $50 unless its something related to development or is a client that provides an online service, which then have different levels of subscription). consider making older versions free, consider a free basic version, etc.

if you make something REALLY Good, but make it REALLY crippled functionally or with overbearing copy protections and give it a ridiculous price, (you probably made the iphone) and you are asking for piracy.
