how can u say apple when they have a patent that presides over "unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image"? u expect anyone to sit around with such a patent? i think samsung, htc, moto, anyone wud use that too its full extent… in my opinion this is more the patent offices fault for loading apple with these patents…

The thing is, Motorola had the slide to unlock feature way before Apple.

You are wrong dear. First to implement this system was Neonode a Swedish phone manufacturer same year (2005) Apple file the patent application.

so you are basically saying that if some one is not watching you, it gives you the right to be an a$$**** ?

not at all… but if someone gives u all the tools too, says its okay, legally allows u too, and it makes u much richer, what would u do?

apple should not be given every tool it needs to do stuff like this… but honestly i dont blame them, companies are out there to make money… i have no doubt moto, microsoft, or htc would do the same if they had such patents.. and they are with what they have

We should do a macarena before the phone to open it. Maybe that is what apple wants.

Actually they do, mate. More than 80% of the worlds' smartphone sales profit goes to? Yes, Apple! :)

the next thing ROTTEN FRUIT gonna file the patent for would be, "watching porn on your mobile device in landscape mode". they will surely get it and then sue everybody on this planet.

you must be a sicko if you watch porn on your device..

why pass judgement. it doesn't matter if He does or doesn't watch porn. what matters is that he should be able to do it if he wants.

Ifan drones keep wondering why theirs so much 'hating' of apple. The childish controlling nature of apple in this article is the exact reason why.

Constant thirst for control,never looking to innovate always looking to sue anyone with products which better their own. Thank god ultimately android is and will continue to massively outsell ios

They can't fight with their phones.... why? because its all crap!!!.... Google is still waiting on their notification bar patent approval and once that happens.... I'm sure apple WILL be getting sued for iOS5 and its notification bar.... and I'm pretty sure that Apple will also be getting sued for using a face to unlock your phone.... apple has had its 15 years of fame.... all they are doing is producing garbage.... and let me tell you... the garbage stinks, and all they do is rip off other people to implement on their devices....!!!!!

Apple deserves it's own dedicated section on this website for all of the articles that have posted relevant to Apple suing other companies and vice-versa. WE MUST KEEP A RUNNING TALLY lol

Just because a patent is awarded, doesn't mean it is not invalid. Attorneys are going to make out like bandits on the patent litigation.

"Slide to unlock technology" wow these people really have their head way up their ass. Seriously every time apple files another law suit it's like an episode of south park. You're just looking at it like "really? are these people that ridiculous and self absorbed."
