[citation][nom]Anomalyx[/nom]Well if you consider everything small enough to fit in a pocket that has a touch-screen to be a copied design, then you might as well take it all the way: Ford was the first to start effectively mass-producing the internal combustion car, everything else must be a cheap copy. (anyone who has ever owned a Ford such as myself, knows how crappy they are, and understands the anlaogy)Point is, non-Apple products are often better than Apple products in every way. Apple isn't trying to "protect their innovation", they're just trying to pick on the competition, even if it takes committing perjury (anybody going to prison for that, btw?). Apple is the only one doing anything illegal.[/citation]

Ford should have patented riding in a wheeled contraption to get from point A to point B, along with the gestures involved in moving a steering wheel to achieve direction, gestures for signaling which direction you intend to go. They could also have patented braking lights, headlights, and gestures involved in changing gears... then they would be more in line with cellular patents.
