Google really needs to buy more patents. The 1000 IBM patents are a step in the right direction. I am sure their patent lawyers and technical team are looking for more patents to buy. But the likes of Apple and Microsoft already have safes full of patents and they are looking to use them against Android. Microsoft are already benefiting $5 for every Android handset sold. Apple on the other hand just want to ban Android and have the US market to themselves only- which will be kind of difficult. And the more patents Google gets, the more difficult it will be for Apple to keep Android at bay.

A lot of Apple's BS patents are based on technology that predates the request of the application. All Apple did was apply for "sample existing technology" and added "-on a mobile device" and create a patent request out of it.
For example, Apple didn't invent multi-touch, but they requested patents for multi-touch "on a mobile device" and the idiots at the PTO gave it to them. Sounds like shading dealings going on at the USPTO.

while apple may want to ban all handsets from US shores. i do believe that that in and of itself would be in conflict with the anti-trust act woud it not? makes sense to me but i'm no guru when it comes to law

the government created this mess when they allowed everything from names to sounds to be patented.

I also believe those patents are going to be used to try killing Android and I hope that if that's their plan the department of justice sees through it and stops them from doing so. Google seems to be only interested on getting patents to defend itself rather than attacking others.

Bawww, Google lost the bid, so now they're whining to the big bad gov't to do something about it. They need to suck it up and accept that they lost instead of ****ing about it. Why don't they spend their efforts improving their glitch filled Android OS instead of whining when they lose bids. It was a fair competition and they need to get over themselves.

Please show where Google asked the DOJ to look into the matter...in this article or elsewhere. I may have missed it...

So if android is so horrible, why doesn't apple & microsoft just let it implode on itself. If it is that horrible, people wouldn't buy it after getting that bad taste in their mouth and go to one of their competitors. If that were truly the case apple & microsoft would save a hell of a lot of money that they are currently putting into legal action. Companies don't spend money like this for no reason. Seems to me android might not be as bad as you paint it.

And by fair competition you mean Apple, Microsoft, RIM, Sony, Ericsson, & EMC vs Google. Yup, sounds fair to me.
I notice your avatar is from professional wrestling. Is your favorite part when the guy betrays his teammate and it ends up with a bunch of guys stomping on a guy that's down. That would seem to explain your stance on these issues.

I love how iSheep like to forget how glitchy iOS was for its first three iterations. Android (2.3.4/5) is doing much better than iOS was at this age. While iOS 4 is an excellent os, I have no doubt that, if Ice Cream Sandwich improves as much as it is expected (and is paired with hardware to match), it will greatly surpass iOS 5 in every aspect including speed, smoothness, functionality, ease of use, and overall usability.

Stop your whining folks. Free ain't Free No longer. Google ripping off IP has come to an end. Thank you Steve Jobs.

WOW! That's about as hypocritical as it gets. Apparently you know nothing about Steve Jobs. He's all for stealing other people's ideas, IP, tech, etc. Even admitted it back in the 80's. They've gotten away with a lot of it but also lost a lot of court cases where they obviously stole tech from small companies. The only thing Jobs is good at is convincing idiots like yourself that Apple actually invented/innovated anything. . . obviously whatever he is doing works because we have comments like yours.
