But you gotta love Samsung's new commercial where they parody the Apple fanatics who wait in line for the new iPhone every year.
If Apple wants to really tackle Android, why don't they just go after Google directly, instead of targeting a single Android manufacturer (Samsung)?
TJ Spyke:
Because Google doesn't really make Android devices, they just make the OS. Apple is also going after Motorola and HTC.

Yeah, but Google is the reason those companies are making Android devices. So to cause the most damage, Apple could go after the source (Google).
TJ Spyke:
The thing is, Google isn't violating any Apple patents though, so Apple would have no justification to sue Google.

The only patent android infringes on is pinch to zoom and that won't hold up in court. All of the other things wrong with android are due to manufactur customizations.
Apple is going to eventually go after google in general. Expect it after the samsung cases has gone through appeals. Why do you think google has been uping its patent warchest.
