Sorry folks, but Apple is 100% in the right on this one, and if the justice system works, then they will ultimately win this trial.
NOBODY in the ENTIRE TECH WORLD ever used the term "app" or "app store" until Apple coined these phrase, and Apple trademarked it as well! All these other wannabe companies, like Amazon, are all trying to hitch a free ride on Apple's coattails, when Apple did all the hard work of blazing this trail for them and trademarking this term for themselves!
If you don't believe that Apple can trademark "App Store" and keep it for their own use (and they sure as hell should be able to do both), then how in the world can Microsoft get away with trademarking the COMPLETELY GENERIC TERM "Windows"? The term "windows" was used constantly by every human, every single day, in both technology and out of technology.
It would be INSANE for Microsoft to be able to have "Windows" to themselves, if Apple can't have the totally-justified "App Store" all to themselves.
it would be like someone trying to come out with their own "iTunes Store". It's totally ridiculous, and Apple will ultimately win this trial.
My Ti-84 Plus calculator released in 2004 from Texas instruments has a button labeled "apps" that takes me to the list of installed applications, so I'd say apps has been generic since long before the apple iPhone was released. And a store that sells apps called the "app store" seems pretty generic to me.
