Apple licence a number of patents from Motorola so now they licence them from Google. If Apple were to go after HTC as they did against Samsung's tablet Google now has a very powerful trump card. </p> <p>Back off or we'll get the iPhone pulled! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3637#post-38172 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:12:38 +0000 chdot 38172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/15/google_announces_plans_to_acquire_motorola_mobility_for_12_5b.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/15/google_announces_plans_to_acquire_motorola_mobility_for_12_5b.html</a></p> <p>So it's Apple/Apple v Nokia/Microsoft v Motorola/Google (Android)</p> <p>Wonder how other Android using hardware manufacturers will react?</p> <p>Did Google buy the 'right' hardware? </p>
