It's only the first round and already Apple has reportedly burned through $100 million on its legal battle with HTC, and the fact of the matter is, here lately they have had little to show for it. Newsweek's Dan Lyons notes Apple’s onslaught of lawsuits around the world have yielded precious little while meaningful wins have been few and far between in its ongoing legal battles against Android vendors. Apple did manage a victory last month when the International Trade Commission banned the import of several HTC smartphones it deemed to be infringing on a patent, but HTC responded the same day and said a simple workaround was already set to be rolled out. How do you like them apples? No end in sight yet however, and if it comes down to cash, Apple certainly has the resources and drive to ruin HTC. Hopefully HTC can continue to rectify their disputes quickly and simply.

ishit. iloose. damn you steve. died again for thousand time with your cancer
Apple seem so scared of any competition taking over them in the market share that most major android vendors are getting sued…. What a load of crap. Android is so much better then iOS in many ways. God i hope apple gets what coming to it where smart phones are concerned. They need to accept Android is growing and there’s nowt they can do about it. It’s no longer a one horse market lol
fuckin losers…
spend those same 100 million on making better i-devices….
shitty apple
