This would be like ford saying we made the first cars with door handles so were suing all other companies that make cars with door handles........ Really tho?

No actually some of this would be more like an upstart like Kia patenting door handles and somehow getting it granted then suing ford for using them!
WTF?? how do you get a patent granted for something that already exists? while it wasnt in the os, there were certain progs on my palm pilot that would lock the screen and force me to make a "gesture" to unlock it.
Sure looks to me like Apple wanted to go after the android phones and blasted the patent office with a bunch of crap, some of it stuck and they sicked the lawyers on it! at least one of these patents isnt even a month old
