Once more history repeats itself: the once dominant closed computer platform watches its market share disintegrate in the face of an open platform and decides to sue everyone in sight.
It didn't save Apple in 1985 and it won't save Apple now. Even if there was merit to Apple's various cases (as before, there probably isn't) the legal system will render verdicts years after the marketplace does.

War? There’s a war?
Oh, yeah. I remember something about a “clone” war. Back in the 80’s or 90’s? How did that work out? :-)

idunno, but we’re all better off because they did.

I don't know why they care, no one will ever use the stupid things, they are not a computer, only an Apple zombie would care.</sarcasm>

Apple is trying to become the Righthaven, LLC of the tech world. They better watch out, Righthaven might sue them for copyright infringement for stealing its business model.

Nobody's been shot yet. Are they really sure they want a war?

I must say that I have been very happy with my iPhone and my iPad2. However, I might not have been as happy with both if I had to pay for them out of my pocket - my employer paid.
You've heard of the "blue screen of death" for MS. Well, Apple iDads have the equivalent; the "cracked screen" of "you're-gonna-pay-an-assload" to repair/replace. In both cases, my employer paid for replacement/repair. I'd have given up both if I would have to have paid.
