>>Apple charges developers 30%, licenses a patent trolls (absurd "upgrade" button) technology, requires their developers to use only that technology, but then doesn't indemnify the developers in using it from the original patent troll. ROFL. EFF all over this one.<< Apple doesn't go off half-cocked every time somebody says "boo." They will respond to this suit, you can be assured. BTW, I don't know why you think it's a problem for Apple to "charge" developers 30% to sell their software in the App Store. Google's cut is the same. google.com The big difference is that iOS developers have pocketed well over a billion dollars. Android developers? A fraction of that.
