I think people need a reminder and to actually watch the 2007 iPhone keynote and be reminded that Apple created the smartphone as we know it today.
They also need to be reminded by the words of Steve Jobs himself about what the iPhone's technologies meant to Apple.
Why doesn't Apple have these problems with Microsoft or Blackberry. WebOS was pretty slick, and managed not to steal from Apple. Maybe because those companies have vastly more experience with designing an OS and don't need to steal from Apple to create new products.

Do you understand that Motorola has garbage for software patents and many of their hardware patents are FRAND.
Maybe you should do some research on what happens when companies try and extort using FRAND.

Yeah, and I remember in 07 scratching my head saying "okay so how is this different then my BB?" along with everyone else on the forums.
The FRAND defense make you as slimy as the company claiming it. "oh there is a thousand ways to make 3G work but let's rip off the company that invented it and just claim FRAND". You honestly think that's ok? This isn't over just using 3G it's how it was done, hence the lawsuit.
