Re: Palm (and Google to a certain extent)
I don't think they'll sue Apple because right now, Palm, Apple and Google are mutually benefiting off each other's technology. Palm just isn't selling enough phones to really be on Apple's radar. So, it's almost symbiotic. Google is selling a bunch of phones, but who makes those phones? HTC (AH!!!). Apple benefits from some of Google's tech, and vice versa. Apple can put Google in its place a bit but cutting off their greatest supplier of Android phones.

I mean, with this lawsuit out, ever wonder why Apple didn't take a cut at Google?

Oh, I read the patents and while I see a couple of them that HTC will get in trouble for there are quite a few others that total garbage. I am surprised Jobs has not tried to put a copyright on the use of the letter I.

I also know that this is just Apple's reaction to Android/Google blow-up in the market. I can easily see how they are going after HTC instead of attacking Google head on. I have a feeling that HTC may see some help from Google on this though.
