Ignacio : you don't understnad patents. if apple paid $100 million, that means they were infringing on their patent. If they were able to show prior art to the patent they would pay $0

"About the 2007 Prada nonsense: Both phones appeared within 1 month of each other"

Ok, then lets finally put to rest any glass brick style phone being compared to the iPhone automatically, its a simple, common, obvious design and really nothing innovative or original.]]>Feb 17th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Apple go ahead and sue !]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/you wanted be original huh ? ]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Creative took legal actions against Apple in May 2006
Creative and Apple entered into a broad settlement,with Apple paying Creative $100 million for the license to use the Zen patent.

2007: The Apple iPhone, featured several technology patented by Palm inc. And stole the design from the iF Awards Winner LG Prada.


2009: Apple is going to sue Palm because the Palm Pre uses the technology that Apple featured them in iPhone but originally stolen from Palm.


That's what you call ORIGINALITY?]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/

If you want to claim an idea as original, you're gonna need a time machine, my trollish friend. By the way, i'd love to see your completely original idea for how a touchscreen phone should look. I'm sure that the crayon renderings will be breathtaking.]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/
About the 2001 patent: it was the exact same interface design iTunes have been using since version 1.0, years before said patent. That's why they reached a settlement.

About the 2007 Prada nonsense: Both phones appeared within 1 month of each other, do you seriously think Apple designed the phone in 1 month? And they don't share any similarities other than having a touch screen screen (or, if you consider that "similar", then dozens of previous touch screen phones are similar to both)

About 2009: Apple hasn't announced they are going to sue anyone in particular but if they did, it would be related to multitouch patents, which they couldn't have "originally stolen from Palm" since Palm didn't have any multitouch product or patent when the iPhone came out.]]>Feb 17th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/
and about the Prada incident, I call it coincident, LG just wanna have fun.]]>Feb 17th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/

Android + HTC = Funness!

Hopefully the phone is done well. From what I've seen of the G1 and the way android works I haven't been very impressed. I'm actually quiet looking forward to WinMo 6.5 but good Lord its going to take forever (4th Q 09!! come on). Granted since MS has a pretty large stake in this area already they have no one to worry about yet... Just about all the new LGs coming out are using WinMo 6.1 :( I hope you can upgrade to 6.5 when it comes out.]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/At any rate, it's nice to see some actual Android devices.

- It's thick for a phone without a keyboard.
- The design has too much dead space, and is UGLY, as usual.
- Autorotate is extremely slow
- The letters that pop-up away from the pressed key is annoying (you're already looking at the key you want to press, why pop-up the magnified key away?)

And finally, the camera Engadget is using is still the worst among all MWC attendees. Even an n95 would shoot better videos.]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/12/telstra-exec-new-android-based-htc-phone-better-than-pre?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget) then i'm disappointed]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/

Unltil now Samsung Omnia HD and the other one with inbuilt projector are high on the list of my new phone.
But still I don'r know enough about Toshiba TG01, and the Archos /android 5 incher.

This thing seems to have some nasty rough edges but I don't know if that's imputable to the Android or to HTC's hardware]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/Feb 17th 2009 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/htc-magic-first-eyes-on/
