Something that’s incredibly annoyed me over the weekend is the recent Nokia activity. If suing Apple, Microsoft and various other companies isn’t enough, let’s sue Apple again.
Nokia, have recently lost out heavy market share, especially to smartphones such as the iPhone, Droid, and the upcoming Google Phone. Their products are losing innovation, it seems, and although they set the standard, their UI is boring, used and doubled with unattractive and clumsy. Their touchscreen phone went out with a whimper, and it’d seem they don’t really have the innovation to enter the smartphone market.
So, instead of work on a better product, they’re pulling everyone to the ground with them like sore losers. I don’t really know what kind of psycho bullshit this is going on about, but it claims to be breaching their innovations in camera, wireless, and power management technology. Basically, little itty bits that no one who doesn’t study their competition wouldn’t know about.
A statement from Nokia said in a statement: “This action is about protecting the results of such pioneering development. While our litigation in Delaware is about Apple’s attempt to free-ride on the back of Nokia investment in wireless standards, the ITC case filed today is about Apple’s practice of building its business on Nokia’s proprietary innovation.”
This time they aren’t stopping on iPhones – they’re moving on to claim it affects the iPod range, and even as far as the Macbooks.
Then again, it’s not like Apple are innocent to this. Who can remember what Apple did to Pystar? Yeah, Pystar are gonna feel that for months. I mean, they’ve degraded themselves to selling T-shirts for a living.
