Law and Order Remember when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, and proclaimed, to much applause, that they patented the hell out of it? Well, apparently Apple likes to boast about its own patents, but when it comes to dealing with other's they're not so willing. That is, if you believe Nokia: the largest phone manufacturer in the world has sued Apple for patent infringement.

It looks to me that Nokia has a case here. But then again, when you fail to deliver what people want,you then sue.

N900 is on schedual and looks great. Has Nokia failed some other delivery? Also, Nokia is working very openly with third party developers to the point that Maemo 5 is supposed to be all open; no more closed NIC binary like Maemo 4. I think the difference between the two companies along with the difference between a real patent "firm" and Nokia should be more obvious.

Besides what tabbots said to you, I'm also having a hard time figuring out how one who has failed 'to deliver what people want' could end up being the world's largest cellphone maker, but whatever...
