RE: US to investigate iPad patent suit
jdyl 3rd May 2010
They have been experimenting with multi-touch screen
technology since before I was even a twinkle in my
Dad's eye decades ago. The tablet PC concept itself
dates back at least to Apple's original foray into the
medium some many years ago. Furthermore, Apple has
clearly put their work in developing this technology
to its current refinement.

Thus, it seems ludicrous that someone is claiming
patent infringement here. These concepts are neither
new nor unique to any one research lab or vendor.
Apple has put in the work in developing a cutting edge
product. What I see here is an opportunistic corporate
bottom feeder trying to take pot shots at someone
else's success because they lacked the original know
how and innovative wherewithal to create something
like the iPad first.

The iPad, in my opinion, is just a high tech gadget
toy. But it is a very nicely designed little high-tech
toy. And it is the fruit of Apple's brilliant creative
efforts, no one else's.
