They are going after pretty much EVERY phone HTC made in the last two years, including the original EVO, Droid Incredible, and even the Flyer tablet. If this goes through, HTC is finished…and as an EVO owner, I take that very seriously. Their products, despite their flaws, are some of the most uniquely designed devices I have seen in the last several years, and it would be a shame if they are forced out of the market because of Apple.

Apple has ever right to protect the patents they legally own. (Wouldn’t you???)
HTC has ever right to try and show how insanely generic some of these patents really are. (Wouldn’t you???)

The patent offices continue to issue “fully legally binding patents” for absurd things like “you click on a phone number… and it dials it”.

Yes, that actually *IS an (Apple) patented thing.

They can’t compete? Their iPhone sales made up half of Verizon’s sales last quarter… so you’re right… they’re not competing, they’re dominating in the U.S…

I’m pretty sure Apple has plenty of money… they have like $100 billion in cash

Has there been a phone that has come out that Apple hasn’t tried to stop in the last year? Hey why develop new products when you can just attack Android every few weeks, Apple probably invented the internet everyone better watch out! LOL

Funny how this company wants to sue so much when Steve Jobs stole the idea for the Mac from Xerox (the PARC project).
He was then quoted as saying that Picasso said “Good artists create, great artists steal” and said that was his favorite quote. He said he was proud of the fact that Apple has never been afraid to steal great tech ideas. Dead hypocrite.

I agree with everything you just wrote, but I think all of those factors will result in poor sales…which has been a growing problem for HTC.

HTC claimed they were going for a unified format and then did the opposite…meanwhile Samsung is releasing the same phone on 5 different American carriers.

HTC is the one that is on a downward trajectory and Samsung has been skyrocketing upward, and it’s clear why.

Maybe this is a good thing. I see this as a sure sign that Apple has grown very desperate as hell. Instead of innovating and beating the competition with superior products, they’re simply suing them outta the game instead. Apple knows damn well that they can not compete with the likes of Samsung, HTC, and Motorola. Cowardly move Apple. Cowardly indeed.

Sprint wants a 4g phone that’s what they get. That’s not htc’s fault its still a great phone from what I hear. Competing with the sg3 well that’s just options some people don’t like Samsung. And as far as the one series goes,well lets face it, apple sues anybody that’s a threat to them so they must be doing something right. Ill give you the battery thing though. Their battery’s have less stamina than an 89 year old nun:-P

Is the name “iPatent” still up for grabs?

True, I just think that they shouldn’t be wasting money, even if they have ALOT of money to throw around. I guess the amount of money is not what bothers me, it is more about if they are using it wisely. I would rather them spend a lot of money to out innovate the heck out of every phone company and always leave them in the dust. But then again, I’m a member of the Android army. Maybe it is good that Apple is wasting money. =)
