There is only ONE way to implement Bluetooth and meet the standard.

There are LOTS of ways to unlock a phone. Including the way every phone was doing before the iPhone i.e. holding down a button. Likewise for click to upgrade and most of the other design and UI related patents.

So you see now why Google and Samsung are just as much of a problem as patent trolls ?




That's about as reasonable as saying there are LOTS of ways to show multiple applications on a screen, Microsoft (and HP) shouldn't have used overlapping windows (and so on).

As a matter of pure legal hackery, I suppose it is impressive that Apple's lawyers have found a way around the previous "look and feel" lawsuit, but the rest of us should realize that an old dog is up to the same old tricks.


I see you forgot to include Apple in this.
