Apple vs. HTC: Itâs About Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| You have likely heard about the lawsuit
| Apple has filed against HTC claiming patent
| infringement. Kevin offered a good analysis
| of the suit and how it claims HTC is using
| Apple technology from the iPhone. Basically
| Apple doesnât like what HTC is doing with
| Android on the phones it is selling in the
| U.S., as they claim it uses various
| technology developed in Cupertino for the
| iPhone. Much has been said that the real
| target of Appleâs suit is Google Android,
| as the smartphone OS is growing at a fast
| clip. I suspect that is true, but I think
| Appleâs fears go even deeper. I think the
| scheduled appearance of the Chrome OS later
| this year has Apple tied up in knots.
|
| Chrome OS is the operating system based on
| the Chrome browser that has generated a lot
| of interest from both enthusiasts and
| companies producing hardware since the
| Chrome OS announcement. It is intended to
| be an alternative OS for cheap netbook-like
| devices, and is aimed squarely at the
| mainstream consumer. Google expects to
| capitalize on its familiar brand, and use
| the Chrome OS to push its online services
| into the device category.

Apple Suing the âGreat Artistsâ of HTC
,----[ Quote ]
| There is no doubt that Google is a big
| reason Apple has gone after HTC. In our
| eyes, this shows us that Apple views
| Android and the coming wave of smartphones
| as a threat to their business. Will there
| be a counter suit against Apple? Probably.
| HTC has been making smart phones of their
| and likely has a few patents they could
| dust off.

Google Most Likely Apple's Real Target in HTC Lawsuit
,----[ Quote ]
| When Apple filed suit against HTC Tuesday
| for infringing patents Apple owns on
| technology used in the iPhone, it wasn't
| clear which particular HTC devices were at
| issue in the case. Observers surmised the
| Google/HTC collaborative effort known as
| Nexus One was somewhere in the mix, but
| Google isn't named in the suit.

What is Apple up to?
,----[ Quote ]
| Then I read this article in CNET that says
| Apple wants to cut a deal with the
| entertainment industry to store all their
| content on Apple servers. There's a
| chilling comment in the middle of the story
| saying they want to get rid of hard disks.
| That, my friends, is Hollywood's dream. The
| real culprit, the real cause of their
| economic problems isn't the Internet, it
| isn't the wires that connect computers.
| It's the under-$100 terabyte hard drive.
| With a terabyte you can store hundreds of
| hours of movies and TV shows. That enables
| you to do your own programming.

Would 2010 Steve Jobs Sue 1996 (Or 1984) Steve Jobs Over Patents?

Eversheds comment: Apple sues HTC for patent infringements
,----[ Quote ]
| Commentators suggest that this action by
| Apple is actually targeted at Google's
| open source Android operating system,
| rather than relating just to HTC's
| smartphones. HTC is one of the most
| prominent handset manufacturers globally
| to have developed products based on the
| Android operating system, using it in its
| Hero and Nexus One phones.

Steve Jobs, 1996: "Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal"
,----[ Quote ]
| Oh, hello! A trip to the YouTube wayback

| Artists Steal" Jobs might have taken issue
| with Steve Jobs 2010, and his patent
| lawsuit firebombing of HTC. Irony!
|
| The comment was made during a 1996 PBS
| documentary called "Triumph of the Nerds,"
| and looks a smidge hypocritical in light
| of today's events. As does this one...

Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch: Letâs Sue the Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| So Apple is suing HTC, the premier
| manufacturer of Android-based phones,
| including Googleâs Nexus One. And Rupert
| Murdoch is suing Googleâor so he says.
|
| [...]
|
| Itâs a Steve thing. Not just a temper
| tantrum. But an operatic one. Itâs Steve
| Jobsâ signature: pride and paranoia.
| Behind it, too, is the motivation of all
| great competitorsâthey really donât want
| to compete, they want the market for
| themselves. Now itâs Google, rather than
| Microsoft, copying him. Itâs Googleâs
| phone heâs out to get. Heâs pissed off:
| Google controls the Internet and all he
| controls is his rotten phone.

Apple Goes After HTC In Lawsuit Over 20 iPhone Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple is using its strong patent portfolio
| to fight iPhone competitors in court. Its
| latest target is HTC. Apple has filed a
| patent infringement lawsuit against the cell
| phone manufacturer. The suit involves â20
| Apple patents related to the iPhoneâs user
| interface, underlying architecture and
| hardware.â
|
| Steve Jobs is quoted in a press release
| saying: âWe can sit by and watch competitors
| steal our patented inventions, or we can do
| something about it. Weâve decided to do
| something about it. We think competition is
| healthy, but competitors should create their
| own original technology, not steal ours.â
| The lawsuit itself is not available yet
| online. Weâve asked Apple for a copy.

Apple Taps ITC to Kneecap Google

| Apple has enlisted the patent court and the

| Android handsets â claiming the Taiwanese
| manufacturer has infringed on 20 of its
| patents ârelated to the iPhoneâs user
| interface, underlying architecture and
| hardware.â But the move may have more to do
| with Androidâs rapid growth than actual
| patent sins.
