Speaking of being touched- I notice MDN has changed the default of the 'notify me' button- see below. For which we all thank them, don't we?

On the other hand, Apple may just decide to nuke the fsck out of Nokia. Maybe that's why they've been hoarding all of that cash... to make sure that none of these "larger" phone companies even get a toe hold against the iPhone technology (or at least until Apple gets a G2 or G3 iPhone on the market, then they can let the iPod story repeat itself)

Apple should sue the bastards to Kingdom Come I say.

an iphone g3? why use such an old chip? maybe IBM can have dual g5's ready for the iphone!

(yes, i'm being a smartass.) =)

anyway, being serious, if i were apple, i wouldn't worry too much about nokia coming out with a touchscreen phone. they MIGHT be able to beat apple on the price, but on the user experience? doubtful. i bet a lot of the patents relate to the UI and multi-touch - so if nokia had a touchscreen phone that closely resembled those features, then it might be lawsuit time!

Thank you for changing the default on the Notify Me button.

However, I will miss the 100 plus e-mails you were sending me each day.

For a while it actually looked like I had friends.

Yeah only took MDN what like 2 weeks to fix that horrific "Notify me of follow-up comments?" bug.

golfclap.

For a site that applauds Apple for its user interface it's amazing it took them that long to fix that.

After its been done it becomes so obvious and everyone wants to do it..

What stopped Nokia doing it 3 years ago?

Use the Force Steve--Sue em Blind!

Steve said Apple would "vigorously" enforce its patents on the iPhone.

They need to send a message here to the entire industry how serious they are about it- no ripoffs of what Apple has done.

@matt

For their patents to remain valid, they must "vigorously defend" them from infringement. It automatically has to be lawsuit time (assuming that Nokia ignores the cease and desist letters from Apple)

Also, I want to know when the lawsuit will be filed against LG for the "Voyager" that Verizon is promoting right now.

I think Apple should go after this. Total rip-off...

I think the only agreement Nokia will make with Apple is to agree not to infringe on their patents.

Hey MDN, get on this

Have Apple's iPhone patents been granted?

@Wade,

"Anyone else notice that the "notify me of follow-up comments" box is now unchecked by default?"

Just as I posted last night on the MacMall thread. It seems to have changed last night.

what about NTC Touch phones? Will Apple be defending their patents against them or do they have different patents?

WE all love you Big Al!

"For a site that applauds Apple for its user interface it's amazing it took them that long to fix that."

@twilightmoon. MDN explained about a week ago that changing the "notify me of follow-up comments" default was not a simple as it would appear, and I don't think it has a lot to do with Apple's user interface.

They also said that allowing post edits is on their 'to do' list, although that isn't a problem for me because I never make misteaks.

Good to see that Apple is DOING the suing for a change. Why apply for 200 patents if they are not going to be used to hurt the competition.

@Micro Me

... was not a simple lol

Like I said SKY LARK, I never make mistorks.

I've said it before, but ya just gotta love a guy with a name like Big Al.

Slam Samsung too.

The P2 is so close... but lacks many fine detailing.
Web browsing, Multi-touch screen, speed, screen size. Aimed at the Touch... but Apple is truly a touch above everyone still.

when and if a second iPhone goes G3... well then it's all history
also, has Apple achieved a 1% world wide market share yet?

That was the goal for the first of 2008... I think they have done it already... and so the competitors are all following so QUICKLY.

personally nothing should have come as close to iPhone as some of the more recent devices have,

and Apple needs to butt some heads here...

> However, I will miss the 100 plus e-mails you were sending me each day. Sheeze...what a nightmare! But then...you gave your email away. MW: "moral" of the story is...don't.

Give it to me and I'll send you one a week just to keep your inbox hummin'
