Topic: Motorola eins - Apple nichts

[Simon]

A German court has ruled in Motorola Mobility's favour in a patents dispute with Apple.

The Android smartphone maker had complained that Apple failed to license one of its wireless intellectual properties.  Apple uses the technology in its iPhones and 3G iPads.

Motorola could now try to force Apple to remove the feature from its devices or halt sales in Germany. However, Apple said it intended to appeal.  Motorola said the ruling validated its "efforts to enforce its patents against Apple's infringement".

Apple responded: "We're going to appeal the court's ruling right away. Holiday shoppers in Germany should have no problem finding the iPad or iPhone they want."

It would be nice to see Motorola win this one. Have you seen their new Kevlar phone, perfect for you.

Not if I sat on it, it wouldn't be.

You can, apparently, use it to jam lift doors...

[Simon]

Oh, how useful.  I usually use my foot.

This was designed with women in mind, to judge by the TV ad.

[Simon]

What are those?   

Oh, and before you say it, TV ads.

[Rik]

I caught a glimpse of one that looked sufficiently interesting to stop and watch.

[Simon]

Then you married her. 

[Rik]

That's certainly true.
