You got it, HTC defeated Apple in the courts of London! I sure am glad that Apples injunction was overruled, I mean, they were claiming that they invented it, when in fact it already existed in 2004! Good work Apple, way to try to fleece HTC…

The same patents that are being granted blindly to Apple in the US are being challenged in other countries, and it seems that the latest verdict coming from the UK high courts has revealed that some of these patents are not exactly innovations or new concepts. source xda-developers.com

Score for HTC and Google in general, Apple go and keep feeding your sheep and leave us real folk alone! I’m just joking! or am I? Go here to read more…

Obviously it has a lot to do with the Samsung Galaxy SII, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the Samsung Galaxy Note. Nokia is not to far behind, and Apple takes third… What about HTC you say? Well with the recent release of the HTC One X family in Europe and US/Canada, they are doing much better. Go here to read more.
