German court upholds ban on push notifications in iCloud and MobileMe
Share:
In the meantime, Apple’s support pages now provide advice on how to set up manual email deliver on your iOS device, starting out:
Affected customers will still receive iCloud and MobileMe email, but new messages will be downloaded to their devices when the Mail app is opened, or when their device periodically fetches new messages as configured in iOS Settings. Push email service on desktop computers, laptop computers, and the web is unaffected, as is service from other providers such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
Apple wasn’t content to simply explain the situation to customers, adding a final dig: “Apple believes Motorola's patent is invalid and is appealing the decision.” Of course companies never think that patents being asserted against them are valid, and they always think their own patents are valid, so Apple’s opinion here is what you would expect from any company handed the short end of the legal stick.
If you are affected by this ruling and need step-by-step instructions on how to enable email retrieval from Apple’s cloud services, hit up the source link below to get some non-push email action on your iPhone.

I can't wait until Summer. If this is a sign of things to come, Apple will finally be brought to justice.

Motorola should try to innovate instead of litigate.
I believe Apple will have push again soon.

So.....the inventor of the cell phone should try to innovate? I guess they innovated push email. Too bad they didn`t innovate the rectangle or rounded edges. I hear some companies like suing over that.

Motorola is slowing that innovation and stealing from the consumer. The consumer loses!

And how is that argument any different than what apple is doing? For example let's change your comment a bit "Apple is slowing that innovation and stealing from the consumer. The consumer loses!" It cuts both ways doesn't it. The only difference is this time Apple is in the wrong and that's bad, but if anyone else is on the wrong side of Apple they got what they deserved. In the words of George W. Bush "That's ironical"

Slowing that innovation?
Ever hear of Webtop for their Android phones? That combined with their docks turn your phone basically into a laptop?
Moto developed their own LTE chip. That Apple might purchase to use in their phone. More than likely they will use one by Qualcomm tho.
I dont see their innovation slowing down...

You should be on your knees thanking Motorola for giving us the cell phone, your iPhone wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Motorola's real ideas and inventions.

@Taco50: Are you for real? Unless you are ignoring the facts or are one of those dumb blonds with big breasts and no brains, you can not be real.

Yeah, because apple has never sued anyo-oh wait they have constantly suing other corps since, well, ever. Moron.

"Due to recent patent litigation by Motorola Mobility"... that's slightly misleading on Apple's part, making MM out to be the bad guy here when it was Apple that started these patent wars. It should read "litigation with" instead.

can Motorola also shut down imap-idle and generic push-email functions on iOS too?
