Patent Mayhem

You know when something is really being taken seriously when the news is full of stories about companies suing each other over patents.

The news is full of stories about Apple suing Samsung over their Galaxy Tab stating that it's a blatant infringement of their iPad patents. But, then you hear reports that Apple manipulated photos of Samsung's tablet so that it looked as though it was the same size as the ipad in the submission to the court.

In the BBC news article below, HTC is now suing Apple over patent infringements.

This can only show how big this smartphone and tablet computer business is going to be. I, for one, am so enamoured with my Samsung Galaxy smartphone that I am actually considering getting a Samsung tablet when they become cheaper. They are so useful.
