Apple is not defending the iPhone or iPad, cause they know they can't defend something that existed before, in one way or another (selecting icons on a screen is nothing new; selecting with your finger on a screen was invented well before the iPhone and iPad). Instead, they have become a patent troll and nothing more. Message 27836644

BREAKING...More than 700,000 Android devices activated daily More than 700,000 Android devices activated daily by Phil Nickinson on 12/20/2011 \| Filed Under: News; Tags: android, activation, device, smartphone, devices, tablet, tablets, activations \| 2 comments Google's Andy Rubin tonight on Google+ announced that more than 700,000 Android devices are being activated every day. That's 29,166 devices (more or less) activated every hour. Or 486 devices every minute, or by the time you finish reading this post. Rubin also explained what counts as an "activation," saying: "We count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service." That's up just a skosh from the 500,000 devices Rubin announced in June. Dang. Source: Google+
