You realize that Apple hasn't sued Google because....Google doesn't sell Android, so they have no phone sells to receive money from.
Yes, android is free, but google still makes lots of money indirectly off android of course.
The other big reason is, Android doesn't infringe on any major apple patents as far as I know, its a totally different OS.

There is nothing to be had by suing Google. Seriously what will Apple gain?
Samsung just got their bell rung to the tune of $1+Billion. Google and everyone else in the business should consider this a warning shot. Companies need to start innovating or they will get their bells rung too.
Stopping the distribution of Android, even though its free would be great for apple.
And innovating? Android is a damn sight more innovative and feature filled then iOS, ICS and JB blow iOS away. Whats iOS done snice 07 besides rip off android features?
A warning shot? Apple doesn't have **** on google, and they know it. What if Windows Phone takes off? Will apple try to pull the cross license agreement and sue microsoft for making a phone with icons?
And, there is no way in Hell Samsung will pay anywhere close to 1 billion, they'll appeal all 700 decesions and end up paying next to nothing.

So far, the answer has been Apple.
Unless, you want the best phone on the market. Which as of right now, you can't get from Apple, you'll have to look to Samsungs Galaxy S3.

"Consumers" are proving to be selfish enough to allow thievery to get them their desires of having Apple products made by numerous different companies, so they can claim to "hate Apple" and buy the ripoff of Apple (how ironic).
It isn't Apple's problem that consumers can't choose between a hundred Apple wannabe's. They did their thing, if you want it, buy it, if not, then the companies you buy from will have to create their own styles.
Your damn right I'm selfish, I don't give a **** about apples patent trolling, If samsung can make better phones than Apple, which they have. Its not my problem Apple can't keep pace.
