Here's another D move by Apple. Trying to sue HTC to stop iphone competition. So they are suing on the basis of absurd patent claims in hopes to bury a smaller company in legal costs. The Droid Eris (et al.) is an awesome phone, and you can change your own battery and memory.

Apple's claim that HTC's Android phones violate at least 20 of its patents seems, at a glance, like simple corporate maneuvering. Android is, arguably, the iPhone OS's strongest competitor, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Apple would throw up some legal hurdles. But the suit, ultimately, shows how our patent system protects large, veteran companies and punishes upstart contenders.

Aside from better marketing, they are no better than MS.
