What ever it means Apple has gone overboard with all these silly lawsuits.

Indeed and greed will be their downfall.

I'm not so sure they've gone overboard... Let me just say I don't care for apple's products but one must respect the stake they've made in the technology industry. Without making the longest post in the history of Esato, I'll just say that after reading through their original patent I feel they may have a slight foundation to their claims. With that having been said, I will admit that I haven't read through entire infringement case. BUT, and as a business owner myself, I will say that if I created a set of protocols used in my product I wouldn't want someone else to profit off it either. Ever have a great idea at work and let it out to a co-worker, only to find out later that co-worker takes full credit for the idea/project.... It Sucks.
I feel a possibility might also exist that apple knew what they had and let others bite off of it (pun intended, lol) only to set them up in the event they ever became successful.... If you think about, its the perfect business plan seeing as we all know imitation is the best form of flattery. Apple develops the idea for the iphone... starts to produce it and then doesn't immediately stop the "copy cats" knowing that later you will have great power of infringement in the event the competing products market what-so-ever takes off.
Guess we'll just have to sit back and see what happens....

Nearly all the phone manufacturers use patents/ideas from each other and most just sit down with each other and come to an agreement over payments without launching a barrage of lawsuits against each other.
I would go further and say that until Apple came out with the iPhone we hardly heard of manufacturers suing each other so often.
Apple - Silly!

Quite true and here's something what a lot of people don't know is that Google Pays $9 to Microsoft for every Android phone sold and considering the amount of android devices being sold somewhere in the region of upto 300,000 devices everyday that ads upto many $$millions so google and microsoft must have quietly come to some amicable agreement over patents and rights in order for this this to happen with no silly lawsuits either.
Apple have revolutionised the smartphone market there is no denying that but to lay claim to some of the things things which were around before the iphone was even invented is just plain greedy and childish.

Here is the patent in question and in the patent application Apple gave
an example of the sort of task their patent protected.
And as one
guardian commenter points out:
"How can you patent the idea of recognising a phone number and acting on it? Surely you should only be able to patent the technological solution? Apple is concentrating on stymieing competition rather out-competing it."

Perhaps Apple are annoyed at how well Android is doing
and Apple just want everyone in the world to have one of there devices !
Apples i0S is nice but somewhat feel its boring
if they let loose abit and copied Android then it would be better,
I feel sorry for the Americans if this happens though maybe Apple will sell there phones cheaper for there
fellow americans to compensate this

If the patent in question goes against the better good of the people, then such a patent can be dismissed, right?

Don't think patent law recognises the better good of the people although the courts will have final say in any such decision.
