...It's unclear as to how well the lawsuit and the requested jury trial will succeed. While some aspects of the patents appear relevant, others are references to outmoded technology; in one instance, a patent refers to storage over floppy and SCSI drives...[/c]
what kind of nonsense is this? are you actually impying that the patent holds less integrity because it was too hyphy for its time?
Thats just ridiculous.
I mean this was for police and military originally right? aren't they always busting out new technology 10 years or more before it becomes a common household convenience?
I mean it's stupid to say this patent might be invalidated just because it came from way back in "the floppy age"
for moloch's sakes people, this is just one more case example of the illuminaughty's <g>overnment contract companies like lockheed and sun and xerox (and now Typhoon) getting shuffled by these last-wave-burningman <g>oogle masons....
but that brings up an interesting question about technology and the progression of convenience. Because really whats happening right now with Typhoons patent reflects the chinese iphone clones in a fair way. vindication or commonsense people?
Can anyone argue that it was not right for apple to create the iphone? Are we going to say it should cost more because someone with a government contract 30 years ago bought the word touchscreen?
Is anyone going to be allowed after that to really charge for arbitrary words?
And frikin baal, what about progression of technology and convenience:

The IBM Simon from 1992 and with a full touch display seems to qualify as prior art, a working product, and was most likely patented.

what about pystar and the openMacs?
I'm just saying, it works both ways...
