So it's too much for apple to pay other company 8 to 10 bucks for each patent they violate but it's 'fair' they get others to pay the same amount... iproducts sucks....

Would you rather have people pay you, or you have to pay people?

Come on now.

Mr Wu predicted in September that Apple stock was about to skyrocket to $840. In August of last year his prediction was iOS would triple marketshare in 2012. Excuse me if I have some skepticism about his industry sources.

PhoneArena needs to learn to stop using definitive statements in their stories and headlines when they are giving out just pure speculation. Other tech sites have more integrity about the information they report, instead of throwing out every random rumor that floods their inbox and treating it almost as fact. It's very funny when in one paragraph the author states it so definitively and on the next, he goes on to say its the words of an analyst, one of millions out there, who claims to have "sources" relaying the information perfectly. That is tertiary at best, and should be treated at such with the proper disclaimers, but apparently that's not how things roll at PhoneArena. This site still reads like a translation from another language. Too many writers with English as a second language. And don't say this site isn't aimed in part at an American audience, because even the most unremarkable US carrier phones are reviewed here. You guys need to improve on your stilted English and odd phrasing.
