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.

From what limited information I've seen, this seems to be over hardware patents. The software installed on the device is less relevant.

True, so projects like openhardware and OpenMoko are affected.

Have those two projects been named in the suite? Perhaps we should wait and see what happens before jumping to conclusions.
