Apple Hints at Suing Over Palm Pre
Posted by admin under Comparisons, General
There are plenty of smartphones out there now, but the iPhone is the most widely praised and publicized of them all. It’s no surprise, then, that Apple is wary of the new Palm Pre when it emerges in Spring 2009. Today PC Magazine wrote of a possible lawsuit coming from Apple’s direction over some intellectual property issues.
The Palm Pre phone uses finger-flicking and pinching technology that is very similar to the iPhone’s. If Apple decides that any of these similarities are direct rip-offs of its own technology, it will most likely sue.
“As long as they don’t rip off our IP,” said Tim Cook, COO of Apple. “If they do, we’re going to go after any of them that does.”
When using the Palm Pre, users can pinch their fingers together to zoom out, and can spread their fingers apart to zoom in, simulating digging through 3D content. This very cool feature is also possible on the iPhone. It remains to be seen if Apple will try to claim that Palm took this technology from them, or if they developed it their on their own before Apple could patent it.
