As for the older patents let's pick one. I've said it in other posts, the object based gui doesn't hold up, they have already been slapped down on that when they tried to go after MS in the 90's.
I'll freely admit to being anti-Apple, but that dates far back before the iPhone was ever even a dream. Apple owners are the first to point out that MS is a big evil corporation, but they refuse to look in their own backyard. Apple is one of the worst companies when it comes to openness and fair market practices on the planet! And until the Mac's started shipping with Intel processors they were nothing more than overpriced toys, now they are just overpriced computers. Add to that Apple refuses to listen to customer requests about the iPhone, yeah Job's is really looking out for the customer.
Job's is running scared, he is attacking the single largest manufacturer of Android phones which represent a threat to his precious iPhone instead of doing product development and trying to top what is coming out against it.
As far as your Hero, I really can't understand what you mean by "working like a fiend on my phone to get this thing to work", is your phone broken? Other than a few bugs here and there that I remedied quite easily after a little research here and elsewhere and the obvious lack of real sync capability with Outlook (this is a problem with any non-WinMo phone apparently) my phone is working perfectly.

I guess it is broken, as i cannot multiask, nor is youtube app working nor does the default weather update like it should. Working like a fiend to root this thing, to make it run smooth, etc etc.
truly I would like to be able to multitask without this thing lagging and freezing, I could live without the rest for now i guess. I would also like to use this thing without having to fiddle with it and change and experiment with settings and new programs from the market just to make it work like it should. All i ask. I am not a 16 year old kid who lives with mom and dad and has all the time in the world to play with it, i need it for work. Only rerason i am here is to find answers, and when i see pig piling well, I will call people out on it. I have the hero, it's got problems, sorry , glad yours works. there are far moore people complaining about apple and some others than people complaining about android. So I am not sure why it upsets you so bad.
I will defend any company whether it is apple, Ms or HTC when it warrants it. I defended htc's right to sue about their weather app too.
some people do not mind having these problems with their phones, but I paid a lot of money for mine. Others are able to root their phone, tho one should not have too just to make it work correctly. If I could I would root, it seems to be the end all be all answers to the problems with my phone.
some one informed me they have their cellular south phone rooted and I am waiting to see if they will tell me how they did it. Very few have done so without problems with features, he says all is working correctly, so we will see, hope it's true and hope he shares how he did it.
