I have to agree here im sick of apple going after everyone for nothing and then they copy everyone else and act like it is there idea. Look at the pulldown notice bar in new ios hmm did android not have that first? Also being able to access the camera when the phone is locked o ya windows phone 7 did this 1st. Now they want to add intergration into the contacts app hmm wp7 dose this with the people hub. Ok wel we will like our phone with icloud o no wait windows phone 7 did this 1s as wel with skydrive.

I also remember having slide to unlock on my old windows mobile 6 years ago too.

I really do hope people stop supporting the i devices and start looking at android and wp7 in the phone market windows 8 and android in the tablet market and samsung and sony mp3 players in the mp3 market as they all offer more and better quality than the i devices and cost less too.

"Slide to unlock patent"?

Wow....I'm filing a shoe tying patent. Nike, Adidas, etc....they'll all owe me. I'll be rich!

The things that people can register rights to is unbelievable. And I'm pretty sure Disney is getting public domain times pushed further by a few more centuries, lol.

Not sure if sarcasm, but that;s a really foolish point. If that were the case, those devices would be at least twice the price of what we'd pay for them usually.

well without jobs its a sinking ship.

so they grasping on to everything they can while they can. its only a matter of time before the current Apple execs jump ship. 5-10 years max.

no they havent... jobs is the one who said he would destroy android even if he died doing it.

Jobs is the one who kickstarted the lawsuits. lol.

Not really, Apple has been getting sued and brought to court time after time by the other mobile companies. So they would be dumb not to do the same.

Because the patent system is a joke

*wonders if i can patent me giving apple the finger*
