I'm supposed to take this more personally, I've been told. I'm supposed to hate Apple and what it's litigious self with every fiber of my being. I'm supposed to cry in my beer for Samsung, for HTC, for anyone who's ever had an injunction handed down. I'm suppose to hate the player, as well as the game.
That's just not me. I don't set my hair on fire, especially about things over which I have no control.
Here's what I do hate, in no particular order:
- I hate that patent litigation has become the focus of the past several months. (It almost makes me long for the bad old, sky-is-falling days of Carrier IQ.)
- I hate that instead of writing and talking about phones and tablets, we have to concentrate on lawsuits about phones and tablets.
- I hate that it takes the focus away from the developers, without whom none of this would matter anyway.
- Most of all, I hate that it's come this far.
That patents should be granted for software certainly should be debated. That patents are granted far too easily hardly is up for debate. Let's hope by this time next year we'll be talking about new and innovative products, and not this mess. I'm sick and tired of patents.
If you've yet to do so, check out the podcast I did with Rene Ritchie from iMore.com on Saturday.
And now, for some more good (and bad) from the past week in Android.
