Official Google Blog: When patents attack Android

Owen Densmore
Administrator
This is a fascinating post on the Google Blog:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/when-patents-attack-android.html

Apparently Android has posed a threat great enough for the Patent Wars to begin.

IMHO, Android is so different from iPhone that it creates a new market, not an attack on iPhone .. so Apple should chill.

Why different?  The iPhone is for folks who want a stable, evolving, predictable phone and software base which spans from iTV, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Lion OS.  Android is the innovative market for people wanting each cellular provider to put its own stamp on the user experience, and to integrate with Google, not OSs and devices.  The Android market wants to be broader in cost and market demographic.

But anyway, interesting read from Google.

Poor Google.

I think we should all make a commitment to double our search activity today so that they can generate some additional revenue to fight off this awful anti-competitive threat.

You should hear what the folks here at Blackhat are saying about Android security as compared to IOS.
