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.

Apple Files Another ITC Complaint!

Apple has sent another ITC Complaint for Patent Infringement, the first one was against Samsung and this latest one is against HTC.  It's very similar to the complaint made against Samsung and they're trying to stop the importation of HTC smartphones and tablets into the U.S.  The Samsung Galaxy News Blog was curious as to when Apple would start going after other manufacturers and it looks like Apple has started their expansion.

This could put many Droid series phones and the HTC Flyer in danger if it is allowed to go through.  HTC, like Samsung, has denied any allegations of wrong doing.
