Although I agree with Apple defending it's own IP, their actions do sometimes comes across as anti-competitive and stifling innovation. Go HTC! (But I'd still prefer an iPhone!)
I'm not picking on this poster specifically, but can anyone explain to me how this is stifling innovation. How can people make that claim as if it's self-evident?
I won't go so far as to require empirical evidence or data which would be nice.
Just give me the rationale! That's all I request.
If you want more innovation, then isn't a copy-cat company the OPPOSITE of what you want?
Why does it seem like the only innovation you want is for a copy-cat company to innovatively offer you their copy-cat product for cheaper?
