Apple is using cherrypicked photos that make the Samsung Galaxy S look like something it’s not.

As far as the patent goes, Android does this as well, but I’m not sure Google would have to pay out because it’s open source and Google isn’t releasing it for profit.

Steve is afraid of reliving the early 1990’s, where Microsoft allowed Windows to be installed on any computer running it.

Those factors are irrelevant to a patent infringement action. The holder of a patent has the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the claimed invention.

Hmmmm What does this phone look like? Sure looks like an iPhone knock off to me.

On the patent? You are wrong. Google does not have the right to give away what it does not own. It did not spend the money to do the research and develop this technology. . . Similarly, you can't steal someone's property and give it away and just claim you are innocent: "I didn't make any money 'cause I gave it away." You've diminished the value of what you gave away. You still stole it.

However, it's not necessary to sue Google. Apple will sue the phone makers.
