It’s not new news that Apple is suing HTC, but now it’s the heat just got turned up!
HTC was the first to do a lot of things that involved “Innovation” and revolutionizing the way we use our phones. I would know I owned one of the first T-Mobile Windows phones (the MDA). In today’s world HTC still makes Windows Mobile phones, but also produces the new Android phones. This is what Apple is scared of, Google. So they sued the little guy HTC.
HTC has come out and said that they were the first to develop the technologies that Apple uses today, but did not patent them as a way to revolutionize the industry. Leaving the freedom to others to do the same. Since then the industry really has changed.
Well on to the topic at hand. Apple is suing HTC for patents but I just found out from Phandroid.com that a company called Elan is already suing Apple for patents based on Multitouch! HAHAHA
I’m sorry if your an Apple person but I find the irony absolutely hilarious! They go as far to say that “…Elan seeks to block Apple from importing its products into the U.S. that use multitouch, including the iPhone, iPod touch, MacBook, Magic Mouse and the iPad, which is due for release on April 3.” That means no Apple products that have a multitouch function will not be able to be sold.
