They had their phone out first and announced before apple had even come close. By the way android was bought from another company who was already working on it way before apple as well. As typical apple users misguided and misinformed. Keep drinking the kool aid.

                    Now they are suing Apple over smileys in Germany, even though iOS doesn't use them.

                    Now that Apple has WON on this one they are free to hit Samsung back with it and hit them hard :p

                      Ok all this business of companies suing each other is just getting out of hand now, yeah i see what the deal is here, but like the article says "Apple cant sue Android" so does this mean they could go crazy and just go after Samsung, LG etc all other companies that use this feature in Android also???

                                    RIM is almost dead, there's no point in suing them as their idiotic CEO's are removing Blackberry from the market anyway.
