Always with the hypersensitivity on this site.

From a purely legal standpoint, I mean. Would they still be held liable? They were deemed guilty in court...as they see it, they did copy the iPhone. So would they still have been if the court decided that there was no INTENTION?

I am not "hypersensitive" I was just screwing around with a post.

I think these patents need to cease though, "Slide to Unlock", "Rounded Edges" yet Apple takes Androids Notification Bar, and no one says anything about it.

If this goes through they will likely make a stagnant market, because everyone is going to own anything that is possible to make. Artist feed off of each other, an age old saying that is true, even in the tech world.

What if someone copyrighted touch screens when they came out? No one could have used them, aside from that company. That creates a market were no one can try to innovate the touch screen, and a monopoly by one company.

Bottom line, there should have never been a count for this, Ford made the first car, did they sue everyone else for using the steering wheel? Or the gas pedal? No, they just became a standard for the market. What Apple is suing over is such trivial, and mostly standard market features anymore.

LordMe,

Well Said.

Not sure how the legal system works, but can they actually overturn a court case especially if they find the evidence misleading?

u jelly?

it's a phone, you shouldn't have to add any more HDD space than the 8 or 16GB that's already on there. i personally have a hard enough time filling 8GB with music, let alone the apps that aren't anything more than 100 or so MB.

and, memory is RAM, so if you're going to troll at least get your terminology right.

also, it's *you're right*, not *your right*

@ziggurcat, there are different types of memory. MicroSD cards are flash memory. RAM is short for Random Access Memory and has a different use to flash memory....applications, the OS of the phone etc. If you're going to be a smartass, at least know what YOU'RE talking about.

Also, the iPhone is more than just a phone. It handles music, video, photos, apps, games etc. You can't fill 8gig with music? Plenty of people have far more music than you, and the option of expandable storage would be extremely welcome to them....especially if they also have a lot of video.

maybe you should say that to apple rather than those actual phone users.

@ kopicha:

why would that person need to say that to apple when it's android fanboys - who clearly can't handle the fact that the iphone is a well-designed, easy-to-use product, and have to take every opportunity they can to try and downplay the device in an attempt to make their s****y product seem better - who are slagging apple/the iphone?

@ziggurcat - How is your comment any better than kopicha's? Pretty much took the same dirt road. Everyone has their opinions and you can't be mad at someone for choosing one over the other.
