What's really bad is there is prior art for this patent. There was a windows ce phone back in 05 that had this technology. iPhone did not exist til 07.... They will toss this patent in court. It's already happened in the netherlands, Apple lost.

Sounds like Motorolla, or someone else who was in the phone business before Apple, needs to go back and retroactively patent the basic idea of a lock/unlock feature for phone functions. Then we could have absolutely nothing in the way of market competition, and Apple would be happy.
Shut out of the phone market, but happy. But really, this can't be true at all. Steve Jobs was still alive in 2009, when the patent was filed. And we all know now that Steve Jobs was a philanthropist saint who would never do anything to impede progress or monopolize an industry...

I liked Jobs and I like Apple, but the most amazing accomplishment they pulled off was convincing idiots like the Occupy Wall Street people that Apple was cool and anti-corporate while Apple became the largest company in the world by market cap. |
