I only scanned, so I apologize if any of this has been repeated.
First, this is not anything new. Jobs loves suing people. He is well known for his anger and angst. He even claimed "thermo nuclear war" on the big 3 and sued them in almost every country; HTC, Samsung and Motorola. HOwever, after 2 years of pursuit, they've accomplished almost nothing.
As a matter of fact, the only two suits that were upheld were easy get arounds. Samsung simply widened the frame on the Galaxy Tab and HTC removed a tiny software feature that allowed you to click a phone number in an email to bring up a list of options.
At this point, Android is now the top smartphone platform and Samsung is the largest manu of s.p.'s. One 3LP's big patent attorneys was quoted saying that Apple basically needed to watch their ass and instead of suing everyone, start trying to make some royalty deals instead of trying to completey crush his competition as fiercely as possible. It only gets harder when you start losing these court cases and it's only a matter of time before they begin to crumble a bit.
Of course, that's not the way Job does things but with Apple's new leader (dont recall his name) the way things run may change a bit.
Moral of the story: Android isn't going anywhere and competition only makes products better.
