Nokia sees that Apple is beating them with things like the iPod, the Macbook, and the iPhone and they are doing what any good weasel would do. If Nokia REALLY thought that these were infringements then why didn’t they file when the first laptops from Apple went wirelss? Or when the iPod first came out 9 or any of the multiple generations since)?
Sounds like sour grapes to me
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I like the looks of the N900. Don’t care much for the iPhone. On-screen keyboards are awful.
Can’t win in the marketplace, so file a lawsuit... The “American Way”... File the case in the “right” (as in leftist) venue, and this case has a chance even if it really is a pile of dung (which it most likely is).
The iPod has been around how long? The iPhone as well? So the lawsuit is just now getting filed?
If I “owned” a certain technology that was being infringed upon, I would jump all over it immediately to stop the abuse of my intellectual property, and to prevent being hurt economically by said infringement.
I use to think Nokia was a decent company. Mark them off the list...
