Apple’s patent lawsuit against HTC is a carefully planned manoeuvre, that some speculate is in fact a proxy attack on Google.
However, with the rivalries and lawsuits aside it could have a more drastic effect on the consumers. If the courts rule in favour of Apple it could well kill a huge range of HTC produced handsets, and send a drastic blow in the face of Google and the Android platform.
The rumor mill has been churning out rumors of an Apple table for many years now, working especially hard since the latter half of 2009. Now the rumors have a physical form, yup that’s right, Apple has officially announced the iPad.
