I plan on shorting APPL. Taking ideas from Sony and Mitsubishi, then pushing outdated hardware with "we stole it first" patents is not innovation. This litigation is simply a sign that Apple is out of ideas, and barely comes in fourth in a foot race with Taiwanese and Korean fabricators (assuming the Taiwan competitor was pregnant when the race started). If Xerox had ever enforced their patents there would not be an Apple ... .

Besides there is the usual cycle of buy on the hype, sell on release date disappointment (no matter how good the product is) coming to us.

As is usually the case with predatory litigation, the only real winners are the attorneys and the only real losers are the consumers. This will be overturned on appeal. In the mean time Android will all but be put on hold. Quite a development since iOS and Android are both simply customized Linux (open source) shells.

Imagine in Orville and Wilbur Wright had been able to get Curtis in front of a California jury.
