[moniker]

How the hell are Sony part of this consortium if they themselves manufacture android phones? :what:

Even Google was asked to join, but Google denied the request and Google has bid independently and lost the bid by a margin of 100millions

This war is not going anywhere and also is not reaching anywhere!! This is just like Piracy cases between the RIAA and the file-sharers... Gosh they are just stopping/slowing down innovation!!!

Down with and M$ for sure!!!

No doubt I praise apple's Tech.(best) and the easy or so auto-learn-curve(not very much effort required...unlike GNU/Linux) of Windows.

But their Business Tactics,Policies,are the most bullsh!t of all.

Why are they afraid of Android,which gives Developers and users an ample Freedom of choice ,functions,usage according to the needs,that cater to a large section of the World's population?

Not everyone in this World is born with a golden spoon,not everyone is the uber ultra rich,not everyone falls in the niche category of customers.

Android is cheap!!!(Paid software tools/apps.)
Android is Free!!!
Android is omnipresent!!!

looks like No one gives a sh1t , what the consumer what.

Android is on its threshold, seeing by its market share and fragmentation across the mobile manufacturers. Eventually people will long for something more, and something new. But Android can still prevail like Symbian, before meeting its dawn for many years.

Apple/Microsoft - none can shut Android by themselves..

This is just the human nature that the jealousy leads to such acts and that too from Big companies. Not many can afford apple and there are not many who loves windows interface android is a open source and coz of it a big mass of population is now able to enjoy what is we have just seen in books when we were small. There are always personal preferences about what you like but demands are many times fulfilled by a cheaper alternative. The so called cheap or less priced Apple Iphone is a example of what Apple think by the term low price. Come on man let the consumer decide what they want and in this case the market share says it all.

It's not all about the Android and the iOS thing. The consumers have/should have the freedom to select the platform they like and Cases like these are real evidence that the Apple is not giving any choices and they are just trying to establish the monopoly and that is strictly not helping the consumers in anyway!!!

Ultimately,the call.
+1 to both of you $hadow + NikiNfOuR,for playing the correct and real words of tune.
That's it,it is the customer's/consumer's choice ,will and budget that will be the heart of market dynamics.

The basic funda is that all the companies want to sell their goods but they do not want to know what did the consumer want. Sometimes the mrp of the product freak out many who desired to buy that device once. And whatever comes in his budget is not what he wants.

Well if Google also bid for these patents then they knew exactly that it would be used against them and they had a plan I guess that they did;t bought it or at least they knew a low cost method than buying the patents to counter this attack. I don't think that Android or Google will go go down so easily, Oracle also tried to sue this and all but still its standing on top of everything and that means something. Google ain't kid in the Patent wars.

At least google bought an actual company to get hold of the patents instead of opening a patent troll

that's definition of patent trolling, and Google did, it was called Ranger inc

it's a consortium, why single out apple. anyway, apple never said c stands for cheap, it was for colour. sure cheaper devices stuffed with google adware might just be what people really want, but that is no reason to hate those few who buy expensive products with longer support lives and premium add free content. btw android phone capable of handling all humble bundle games is not cheap either.

what does that mean? what is the conspiracy?
