Google faces 'perfect storm' of legal action from EC and United States FTC | Technology | guardian.co.uk
Google looks set for a big series of legal showdowns across pretty much all fronts in both Europe and the US.
From a phone point of view Motorola's refusal to grant standards essential patents to Microsoft and Apple is likely to land them in big trouble, as would a finding that providing Android for free is anti-competitive. Lots at stake here.
Why is it impossible?
Anyway Mr. Sam Sung working for Apple. People say "Why not use Samuel Sung", why should he? Same as a friend of mine goes by Tom Jones rather than Thomas Jones - why? Because that's his name.
The truth has always been though that they all sue each other.Quote:

The patents they are refusing other companies to use are essential to comply with standards so their behaviour will interest anyone interested in ensuring a free market.
If it was up to me I'd like to see Google, Apple and a few other companies looked into for the way they harvest and use personal information. I'm sure that with the masses they have on us they would infringe some laws and regulations here or in the US.

VB I think Optus have 4G now as well, although neither theirs or Telstra's works much outside the main CBD's and only stretches into a few wider metro areasQuote:

I also have the white one, I have had no issues with cleanliness so far, but as its a pretty big phone it lives in my pocket on its own when on the move. The gorilla glass is great, no marks after 4 months as I hate those sticky plastic screen protectors - you buy an awesome phone with a nice display and then cover it up with a 50p piece of crap to stop it getting scratchedQuote:

Darn it! That means I'll lose my phone and wallet at the same time!
