Its all over you can Google it. Apple Microsoft and RIM are buying up patents and in return are suing Android Manufactures for using said patents. Apple has Sued Samsung to the Point where they have banned them in the UK. Thats a Stupid and horrible thing to do for any company. Competition is good for the market and the user, it bring more and more innovation. Yet Apple doesn't want a lick of competition they cant control. Apple is a company known for controlling the user experience. Those company aren't buying them to keep them safe, thats an idiotic thing to think. if they were all they would do is demand Compensation for Android Sales not try to Completely Annihilate Android. That Is NOT my opinion or misinterpretation.
What Kind of company patents things like Icon Grid, Touch Screen, Pinch Zoom, Thumbnail Gallery and swiping to see next picture etc... thats like for patenting the F'ing wheel. Of course Google Bought Moto, yes for patents also. Duh they need sum before Micro, Apple and RIM buy them all.
I am Not Biased at all the iPhone is a great device, looks gorgeous and love the way it feels. If it wasnt for iPhone where would the smartphone market be? not really anywhere. So for that I am greatful to apple. But whats on top must come down. Same thing Happened in the PC business, Apple was on top with the mac then PC dropped them down. Same thing is going to happen to the Smartphone area. They will not always Rule. Apple is Great at Innovation but lately they have done nothing with the iPhone. what has changed in the time of iPhone? New design and Sum OS changes... wow. They are to focused on sueing so they can gain more market share in OS since Device market share isnt enough for apple. They are a bully company. I am sorry but the iPhone Vanilla or Jail-broken will never be able to do what my android phone can do. IMHO Android far succeeds iOS, since iOS is catching up. here is a link proving you point of biggest device market share from an ANDROID site.
