03 September, 2011
Allegedly, Andy Rubin got the idea for Android's framework while he was working at Apple on a related patent.

      I read and I think really Android OS and iOS are all good. Everybody bought their smartphones by considering that they choose the "best" for themselves. Some people with low budget will buy a low-end phones and could think that their phones are better than other phones with latest technology running Android or iOS.
      What I really don't understand is just the lawsuit. Apple still the number one smartphone manufacturer with so many brilliant minds in its company. Just make some new features on iOS or make another better OS or products that will secure Apple position in world market for few years ahead. What Apple doing now is only destroying its image as the "leading" company.

                      And i pitty the losers who are brainwashed into buying android phone. So what's the difference? (i really dont put i just gave stupid answer for stupid comment)

                      i have never understood why this hating goes beyond products to hating users who use these products. It tells so much about people who write these.

                            I am sure apple will kill android
                            apple has lot of money and lot of time as they spend nothing on r&d
                            So prepare to die, android

                                  This is so lame. Everyone fighting a lawsuit are acting like little children fighting over candy. Everyone is making loads of money, consumers are happy (for the most part), why can't we have peace?

                                      i used to really like apple products, but all of this bickering makes me sick, apple hasnt put anything creative out in a long time, last time they did, there were a great deal of problems with it (iphone 4). All of this legal attacking of almost every other big cellphone manufacturer just makes apple look petty and scared. I doubt i will by buying any more apple products any time soon, and i know a lot of people who are starting to feel the same way!
