[citation][nom]TA152H[/nom]As the saying goes, when you can't innovate, litigate!After getting prostituted by Microsoft, Nokia knows they are second rate, and can't compete. Rather than try, they are trying to make other people's products worse, or have them removed from the market. It makes them look bad too. It looks like they're just throwing pencils at the ceiling and see what sticks. Wait, they didn't violate those patents. Let's try these and see how they work. It looks petty and desperate, and neither are attractive to customers, especially after recently getting sodomized by Microsoft. Their identity is quickly changing to a company desperate for money, and desperate to stifle competition, while not being able to create their own technology, so they take money to use a product by another company that's entirely unsuccessful getting into this market without a bribe. It's a dangerous game, and could destroy them.[/citation]
I'm not 100% sure you understand what is going on here.
Nokia are saying that they invented this tech and hold the patents for it and more than likely have it implemented in existing products.
They further go on to say that Apple has taken thos existing, patented and implemented ideas and put them into Apple products.
They are not "stifling innovation" they are rightly pissed off that Apple are stealing what they have pumped billions of dollars into R&D to create only for Jobsian Flying Monkeys to swoop in a steal.
Get your facts straight.
