Apple > HTC

In surprising news, Apple seems to be gaining ground in their ITC complaint against HTC.  HTC was the second targeted manufacturer by Apple after Samsung.  Apparently 2 of the 10 patents Apple has laid claim to have been taken by HTC.  Unfortunately it seems these 2 patents are core piece of Android.  This means that the IT complaint levied on the Samsung Galaxy devices may end up having some merit.

Looks like some dark times are coming ahead for Samsung, and actually any smartphone or tablet using Android as the operating system.  Hopefully HTC will be able to repeal and set a precedent for Samsung to follow suit.
