Few month ago I posted comment about HTC Phones with Android OS and how this will hurt HTC at some point and why they should stay away from Android and continue with Windows Mobile like before.

And now this law suit against them from Apple because of Android. I don't think Apple can win this because their law suit is just plain stupid. They can't sue Google because they don't have power to do it so they went with HTC instead. They are just crying losers because they know they are behind everybody else and they don't have anything other than thier old outdated iPhone to offer.

But still this shows I was right about Android phones and this actually hurts HTC somehow. Spend some money for legal stuff, fees, etc. instead of spending them for new innovations and phones.

I just wish they didn't go with Google Android. They built quality Windows Mobile phones for many years and specially recently all their phones collection are awesome.

They didn't need Android at all but they did this mistake anyway…

But let's not forget the rumors that Apples patent on multi-touch is extremely weak, and that if Apple ever does try to go after someone for implementing multi-touch they'll probably loose that patent. I think that is why Apple isn't including multi-touch in this patent-attack, they are simply too scared.

And let's not forget that there are two other ancient giants and pioneers in the mobile industry in Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Nokia has already started their charge against Apple, SE is a quiet mouse atm, but considering how long they have been in the industry they are bound to sit on some good patents aswell.

Yet you are wrong Paul, the R&D HTC spent on Android and supporting Android with the very first two phones ended up costing them money and loss of revenue. Now it even got them sued.

HTC ended up not only not winning anything but getting their image dragged into the mud by Apple. Talk about a bad return from trying something different. WM HTC devices were doing very well and are still doing very well. Not so much for the Android ones as they initially thought.

Another example of analysts (and those that simply blindly copy and paste articles) are idiots. The patents at issue in the Apple/HTC suit have NOTHING TO DO WITH MULTI-TOUCH.

Microsoft owns a version of Multi-touch, apple does too, I'm not sure if Palm does or if they licensed it from another company. but apple clearly doesn't own it…per say..
