Here's hoping that they have a sit down, realize they are both infringing on each other and decide to agree not to file a lawsuit against one another.

On a completely unrelated note, how likely is it that it'll be possible to install Android on the Pre without too much fuss?

Pretty crappy way to compete if you ask me but then again almost all the IT companies have played nasty at one stage or another.

Most big businesses use patents like countries use nuclear weapons. They're a deterrent to stop other people attacking them. This is why Palm are confident that Apple won't sue - it would be mutually assured destruction.

Of course this system all falls down when patent trolls (the terrorists of the piece) stroll into town. Nuclear weapons are pretty useful against an entity with no tangible assets.]]>Jan 28th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/Jan 28th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/Jan 28th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/This looks more and more like the "look and feel" apple vs microsoft lawsuit.
Apple won't go against them unless they are pretty sure they can win this.
The above apple patents seem to be more precise, while palm's have more to do with the os inteface ( where apple lost against microsoft in the past).]]>Jan 28th 2009 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/
Thanks, that comparison makes it much easier to understand.

Explains why RIM kept getting raked over the coals(Patent Troll Terrorist), but other major patent cases are few and far between (Mutually Assured Destruction).]]>Jan 28th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/
I am also seeing a lot of similarities to Apple vs. Microsoft. The main difference is, Apple lost because Microsoft already had a license to use Apple's GUI. It would be most interesting if Apple is able to win this time, but Palm's patents are going to make it pretty touch to achieve.]]>Jan 29th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/Jan 28th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/you mean "Nuclear weapons are pretty useless against an entity with no tangible assets"]]>Jan 28th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/
I want apple to succeed beyond success.

I swear this is the only site that makes me want to apologize for being an Apple enthusiast.

I love their products and I'll probably never buy a computer, PMP, or cellphone from another company as long as things stay comparable to the way they are now, but good lord, Flashpoint, you couldn't POSSIBLY have even read the article.

The end is near for Palm and the Pre will be the final nail in their coffin. Apple has submitted a patent for use of the finger so Palm Pre users will need to use their knuckles to do any screen input. Palm users have been knuckle-dragging for years and all those callouses will surely get in the way.

Well, Palm still has the Centro. Maybe some new colors will increase its sales.]]>Jan 29th 2009 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/
