Apple Sues Motorola Over Multitouch on its Android Smartphones

Remember when Motoral sued Apple earlier this month? Apple did the same, they area hitting each other now! Apple has recently filed two lawsuits against Motorola over six patents filed by Apple relating to Multi-Touch on nearly all its Android phones -- basically everything up to and including the Droid X.

Patently Apple has expertly summed it all up in the followed text:

One: Apple, Inc patent titled: Ellipse Fitting for Multi-Touch Surfaces: Patent Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for simultaneously tracking multiple finger and palm contacts as hands approach, touch, and slide across a proximity-sensing, multi-touch surface. Identification and classification of intuitive hand configurations and motions enables unprecedented integration of typing, resting, pointing, scrolling, 3D manipulation, and handwriting into a versatile, ergonomic computer input device.

Two: Apple, Inc patent titled: Multipoint Touchscreen: Patent Abstract: A touch panel having a transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at the same time and at distinct locations in the plane of the touch panel and to produce distinct signals representative of the location of the touches on the plane of the touch panel for each of the multiple touches is disclosed.

Three: Taligent, Inc patent titled: Object-Oriented System Locator System: Patent Abstract: A method and system for adding system components (documents, tools, fonts, libraries, etc.) to a computer system without running an installation program.

The framework receives notification from the system when system components whose properties match the search criteria are added to or removed from the system.

Four: Apple, Inc, patent titled: Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics: Apple’s invention generally relates to electronic devices with touch screen displays, and more particularly, to electronic devices that apply heuristics to detected user gestures on a touch screen display to determine commands.

Flash Websites? Actually, Apple prevents this to happen but Motorola replies to users attending to launch Flash content on their phones, they recently bought a full page ad in the New York Times with a big headline saying “Flash Websites? There’s A Phone For That” Oh my god, I love this pretty news!

Well, I hate flash! But I hate Apple more when not giving me choice to view Flash content on my iPhone.
