iOS definitely got some huge user base but Apple’s not done with it. In recentness, we had heard of Motorola suing Apple regarding infringement of 20 patents. Obviously, Apple was going to respond and the answer comes in form of two lawsuits.
What Apple Says : Moto has infringed 6 patents ranging from Multi-Touch to OS. Products affected include Android phones Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq, Cliq XT, BackFlip, Devour A555, Devour i1, and Charm. Apple has especially focused on the OS part and that’s from where we derive our headlines.
Apple has been trying to suppress two of the leading Android based phone producers, Motorola and HTC with awful lot of lawsuits. At one point of time, Google will also have to step in as the patents target the OS. What possibly could be the “real thing” behind these claims is the strategy to ruin Google and their partner mobile companies relations.
Every second phone released in the market today is running on Android. Not specifically thought but collectively, these phones could endanger iOS and iPhone market share. So be it this way, we’re going to screw them : Apple.
