business as usual
as ted treen says, the lawyers are the only winners in such court battles.
In my view, Apple may be better off trying to make a product which is not glued to poor isps, is robust enough to stand the knocks a mobile phone must endure, and is actually not just gimmicky but user friendly
The most robust phone i ever had was an old NOKIA - bar putting it under the wheels of a HUMMER or the tracks of an ABRAMS, it worked first time every time.
Japanese companies took over various aeras of technology form USA and Europe using quality improvements.
Often they used an exercise called variously QFD or house of quality
Aplle's money could be better spent on that than on US lawsuits if they want to keep market share.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
