Exactly, when all this is over with Apple and Nokia will both be banned, RIM will be banned. and we are stuck between HTC or Samsung till all of this gets blown over]]>Jan 22nd 2010 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/One thing I have noticed is that, this year is going to be more technological than any other (Ehhh).
Just look at the mobile industry, this is the time when every phone will start looking more like a computer than anything else, and every company from MS, to Apple to Google to Nokia are working to beat the crap out of each other.
No one wants to stay behind, and if X company gets a chance to slow down the other for at least a bit, then thats exactly what we are seeing here.
Marks my words, this year will be very competitive more than any other year, companies are scrambling and going out of their usual way/routine alot more than before just to stay ahead of the race. Not that we didn't knew this, but im just sharing my two cents :)]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/The eventual winners will still be Apple, RIM, Nokia and Google... period. Why, because they own their OS, while Motorola, HTC, LG, Samsung and the rest are just riding on them..]]>Jan 22nd 2010 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/
For some strange reason Nokia's global marketshare hasn't moved anywhere during the last year Q1 -37%, Q2 -38%, Q3 -38%.

There is a reason Maemo takes a long time to develop. N900 is already a monster. After bit more polish, we get a real pocket sized laptop for everybody.

Just to prove a point:
Fanboy mode ON (sane people stop reading here)

N900 beats iPhone with
-screen resolution, accuracy and stulys support which is great for...
-Web browser (best thing out there by far)
-Flash support
-Stereo sound
-FM radio and transmitter
-TV-out
-faster 3D (iPhone is seriously underclocked)
-phone voice quality
-better reception
-higher resolution camera & double led flash
-higher resolution video recording
-another camera on front (video call)
-real multitasking
-integrated IM, skype, google voice etc. support
-microSD support
-infrared transmitter (remote emulation)
-keyboard
-real browser with flash support
-cable and bluetooth tethering (with warranty :)
-supports and plays almost any media format (apart from some DRM and HD res video)
-changeable battery
-more apps: OVI store, repositories, Easy Debian (openoffice, firefox, printing support, thousands of other linux apps) and every goddamn swf file out there
-Easy two direction file transfer in mass storage mode or over bluetooth
-ridiculous configurability

Guess that was long enough... answer if you want more ;)]]>Jan 23rd 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/

Not that I necessary disagree with you. BUT if you don't pursue these cases you are basically giving away your patent, because in the eyes of the law it creates a precedent that you didn't attempt to protect your idea. It's similar to the way that Monster Cable sues anyone with the word Monster, or Apple has to sue some random Australian supermarket...They don't want to do, it's bad publicity...But not to do so means losing ownership over the idea (trademark or patent).]]>Jan 22nd 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Well... technically... this is the last resort. Afaik, Nokia stated they tried dealing before reaching the Sue-your-pants-off route.

Idk about Moto, but then if they were to state like Kodak that they only trying to get their compensation for the their work, then everyone else will follow along with the same motto.

In the end Nokia will sue them all for copying them :D]]>Jan 22nd 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Just thought I'd mention that. :-)]]>Jan 22nd 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/oh GOD no!]]>Jan 22nd 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/Jan 22nd 2010 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/motorola-asks-itc-to-ban-blackberry-imports/

this is worse than verizon and at&t filing our televisions with adds with high paid celebrities and maps.
