Apple did a good job innovating on the original iphone. Wait. Maybe I should say... Apple did a nice job collecting other folks good innovations into one greatly more usable device.

Whatever, the point is they did something nice, created a new market, and realised what I'm sure many of us have been waiting for, for years.

It is so sad that they would now rather behave like 8 year old children than a respectable and creative company.

Thank God the US patent office wasn't available when someone invented wheels...

You know the difference between a criminal and an honest working person? The money they make. The criminal will make at least 10 times as much money as the hard working, honest person. Should we all just allow criminals to continue on without a fight? Of course not. But that's what people are expecting of Apple. Apple is earning their revenue the honest way and will lose if they don't fight against the criminal actions of the dishonest ones who are getting revenue the easy way, stealing it.

Bruce Sewell, Apple’s general counsel, said: “Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours.”

Well as far as business is concerned, there is no "honesty" in the world of business. You do everything in your power to make your business prosper. Whether it is going to a third world country to take advantage of the its foreign and working system there to enable you to be able to by low wages to workers (yes slavery still exists in this world, just hidden by the word "freedom"), cheating your taxes, or simply just bribing the government. It is survival of the fittest in that world, and you can't be just "honest" to survive.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
I do know what you are saying, and it is depressing to think about. But that doesn't mean it's right and that we all should allow it. We all have the capacity to change things for the better. If we all care enough to, the world can be a better and more honest place. If we all just give into it, the world is doomed. A world filled with criminals stealing from each other is the same as cancer in a person's body. It will eventually cause the downfall and ruin of the society. As we are seeing in the Occupy Wall Street protests.

It's very easy to overcome it, though. Each one of us can be determined to live honestly. It's an individual responsibility, not someone else's responsibility. If we all take the responsibility on ourselves, the world will be a better place.

By the way, making excuses for why not to be honest is the same as giving into corruption and doom. If we wait for the other person to make the first move, then nothing good will happen. If we make light of honesty and call it wishful, but unrealistic, thinking, or idealism, expect the fall of society. Each of us has a personal responsibility to do what we can in society. To make any excuse for not doing so is tantamount to giving in to corruption and following the way of the dishonest.

And yet, you're defending the patent system and saying that we should just accept it because "it's the law".

The rest of your posts reads like some weird philosophizing about the world that has little connection with the issues discussed in the thread - which is craziness of patents and Apple's hypocrisy.

Yes they deserve it, I just hope that some people here that does not agree with this patent, will be as happy if somebody took their Idea and made millions out of it, and would just shut up and say "hey that is my idea and he just stole it but it is okay if he made a million out of it, good for him I don't care anyway, he can get away with it that is fine"

This patent warfare is just another sign that Apple is losing its position as clear market leader. The cracks in their shiny image are starting to show. 5 years ago they didnt have to deal with cometitors like Google, Samsung and Asus putting out similar quality products.

You do realise that it wasn't Apple's idea right?

the n1m had it before Apple, Apple stole it.

They were given a patent for someone else's idea, which is why when it went to court the judge ruled that apple's patent was invalid.

There isnt a lot that apple hasnt stolen or remade to fit its needs. After all, early versions of Mac and Apple software were Unix Kernel based. I understand that IOS is now its own OS, but its using ideas from a free, open source software available at the time.

Too bad the first time they use that patent in court its getting thrown out. There is a clause that if you prove someone had that technology on the market before the patent holder, the patent becomes invalidated. Ms had a touch screen device with slide to unlock for over a year before that patent was first filed. Actually, a ton of apples patents could be invalidated this way... Why do you think with that whole giant portfolio they only got 1 to actually stick vs Samsung in the one case recently?

To imply that apple hasn't stolen anything is just as crazy as to imply the same of google. They'd "borrowed" ideas back and forth so much that eventually they'll be the same OS. One open source and laggy but on tons of devices, the other speedy but on one. In my opinion they both took from winmo which took from palm so in the end, where's palm's cut? WP7 seems to be the only original idea out there and people are so scared of change that they write it off without looking (or the really funny ones who think it's windows 7, the desktop OS on a phone.)
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
No, actually not. And you are wrong about being an Apple fanboy. Unlike you, I am not biased. The issues I have with Android are clear and simple: Android is and uses stolen tech. I will never support anything illegal.

And my current smartphone love is WP7. There simply isn't anything better.

That's exactly where innovation comes from. I see it being good for consumers. It may be the witches brew for companies, but for us consumers, if the competing companies desire to actually compete, it will produce excellent rewards for us all.
[Off-topic] agentfazexx:
...and every time Apple loses market share, they go patent something to prevent other companies from using it, even if they were using it before.

Do you not agree that getting the Galaxy Tab banned in Europe is stupid?
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Not at all. It forces Samsung to innovate. Innovation comes from this. Just think about the alternative and much better way of interacting with a display such restrictions will bring. This stuff is hard for companies, but if they care to survive, they will invent new ways of doing things. And that means better alternatives for us all.

Look at it this way, if Samsung or Google or whoever invents and patents...or just patents... something that Apple needs, Apple will be forced to invent a new way. Nothing wrong with that. It puts the monkey's uncle on Apple. But if Apple wants to remain relevant, they will innovate...bring an alternative to market.
[Off-topic] chazkenji:
Actually, Apple fears Samsung, so they must go patent everything, even the smallest things ;)
[Off-topic] agentfazexx:
Apple tries to control way too much. I mean, you can't even use your iPhone as removable storage like you can with a Blackberry or Android device. They have all their restrictions and controls to force you to do things their way. That's what I meant, their lawsuits and bans are the same thing.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Most people like their car fully assembled before they buy it. The same holds true for a lot of products in life. A lot of people prefer a fully usable smartphone right out of the box. What I mean by that is, they don't want to be bothered with customizing or tweaking it in any way, they just want to use it. That is Apple's philosophy and so far it has paid well.
[Off-topic] Gusar321:
Wrong. You can't innovate if you can't include basic features into your device. You can't innovate from a vacuum. It's not possible to create something completely new. Everything you create will, aside from some stuff that's actually new, contain also tons of stuff that's already there before. This is no different with Apple products. The way software patents work and the way they're used, they don't bring innovation. They bring monopolies/oligopolies and stagnation. Being limited to just Apple products does not foster innovation.

iTunes is the most user un-friendly piece of garbage ever made.
[Off-topic] Gusar321:
Maybe. But that doesn't mean that we should be limited to just such devices. It doesn't mean that we who do want to tinker should be forbidden from doing so. How does innovation come from such an environment? It doesn't.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
and those of us who want to have a pleasant stock experience should be able. That, thus far, is not possible with android. There is no way I could open my box and enjoy an android phone right after set-up.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Be that as it may, I've always found it so much better than WMP or Zune. However, Zune has improved. The only issue with Zune now is the inability of using more than one music format at a time in the monitored library. Also some times Zune is very slow to detect some changes to the library.

iTunes has never had these issues. I have a slew of iPods that vary greatly in capacity and the smaller capacity players I use a lower quality format on...like maybe MP3@128Kb/s...and the higher capacity players I use the highest quality format...like maybe AAC@VBR300 or MP3@VBR240. I can do this in iTunes. I cannot do it in Zune. In Zune it's one or the other, not all at the same time.

You often say that Android is too hard to use for first-time users. And now you're saying that new smartphone users are only wowed and impressed with Android because they haven't compared it to anything else yet? Make up your mind, man. Is it too hard to use, or is it a pleasant experience?

I dont believe I've ever said android was a pleasant experience even when I was an android user. I just thought customization was more important than functionality.

[Off-topic] upichie:
You said that, personally, you didn't have a pleasant first experience with Android. But the above quotes have you giving a reason why other users experience pleasant first reactions (because they "don't know better," it's "their first time"), which therefore shows you acknowledging that users do indeed have positive first reactions to Android. Which, I remind you, is in direct contrast to your previous statements of Android being too hard to use for first-time users.

Is English not your first language? I would highly suggest reviewing (and fully understanding) what you post before you post it. It seems you are not aware of your own words.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
English is my second language, but being that I was an English major it's one I know well. Of course, the average user moving from a Motorola razr (old one) is going to have a pleasant experience moving to a touch screen phone. My first experience with android was pleasant, the best phone I had prior to android was an HTC touch that I added touchflo on. Upgrading to a g1 felt good and I was an outright android fanboy from g1 to dell streak owning over 40 different devices from the dismal garminfone to the awesome gaming keyboard of the cliq. Then, I tried WP7, initially I disliked it. I had no games, limited media, and everything was just hohum. I thought it sucked. Then, I tried returning to android. It simply wasn't plausible. Even when WP7 didn't have the apps I needed the user experience was infinitely better and now that it does have all the apps I need as well as the best integration in the business I see no other option.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
I have the same issue. I can't put WP7 behind me because it's such a pleasant experience that none of the others satisfy. And now that the greater functionality of Mango is here, I'm a content and happy slave to WP7.

Hi... first of all, thanks in advance for everything that XDA foruns give to everyone...

I have locked bootloader (SIM Card locked by TMN - Portugal), on a R800i Xperia Play

I have downgraded to 2.3.2, rooted by ginger, OTA upgraded to 2.3.3 under UK generic 4.0.A.2.368 - all fine

Im rooted on 2.3.3, but OTA to 2.3.4 still didnt come out and i really want to try 2.3.4 whitout loosing root.

So, I read in that post, people saying its possible to root on Nordic 2.3.4 and my question is:

- Can I make the update to 2.3.4 using PCC, and then root using the metod on refered post? The meaning of this is to get the update via PC Companion, loose root, but gain it again when already updated in 2.3.4

I noob and cant post in development area...
