Another thread that helped me clarify a few more trolls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfslY_AvhLw
OT: Like with the Apple/Moto case, common sense will prevail here as well. I didn't know, though, that there currently IS ban on Motorola smartphones due to the ActiveSync patents. After just a quick couple of searches and reads, this is simply a huge mess between Apple and Motorola/Google along with Microsoft and Motorola/Google. The claims many are making here against MS are just as valid against Motorola/Google (even more so as a judgment has already passed against M/G). But the stand M/G is making just doesn't make any sense. Soooo many Android device makers have settled amicably with MS on these patents yet they chose to fight and lost, even though it mostly affects discontinued devices and thus would not significantly affect M/G sales/profits. Their demands of MS now seem even more unreasonable.
And, considering the future of h.264, if M/G were to win this without severely lowering their demands, it could set a dangerous precedent for us as consumers. The settlements that Android device manufacturers have agreed hasn't affected consumers in any noticeable way. This? Unlikely to be as transparent. If you're gonna pick a side as a consumer, pick one FOR consumers.
