Guys, i would like to share with you a piece of info. Apple has acquired a few patents related to Android. What's the relation? Android has infringed 9 patents of Apple and 2 from Microsoft. This will cause Android mobile producers to stop device production. So, what are the patents infringed?? Well i only saw 2. It is the multi-touchscreen of Apple's patent and some other thing... i forgot.
This info is from some part of xda... i forgot... Google it. Its based on somethingarena.com... so maybe android will die out.

Hard to believe. Android is nowadays too big to fail. Even if this is true, I'm sure that Google will go thermonuclear on this, to protect its platform.

In that case every phone using touchscreen would end. By the way, Apple didn't invent touchscreen. O.O

Btw the somethingarena must be either gsmarena or phonearena...
Anyway talking serious now, I really doubt Android will come to an end, at least involuntarily. Google is extremely powerful! It's not some patent infringement that will stop it... They probably have the best lawyers, and strong arguments.
One thing, I have some thoughts that maybe Google will discontinue Android, but maybe after 3 future successful years, to crest another new OS, which will have backward app compatibility with Android... Sounds crazy yeah? Anyway that's my thoughts lol

I believe Google is so awesome and open that android will last long and become more and more perfect.
Android will only end either when they got no more desserts to name or when apple decides to stop making ****ty stuff therefore no more competition for android
One of the reasons Google bought Motorola was to aquire it's library of patents for exactly that sort of situation

A simple icon homescreen? No, Sony-ericsson M610i did, a year before the first iPhone. | Slide to Unlock? Nope. That was Windows CE, two years before the iPhone. | Notification bar? Bit late there, Apple. Android first announced it THREE years before Apple integrated it into iOS 5. | The "Apple" design? Rounded corners? Home button? - Nada. That was the Samsung F700. | That "incredible" assistant, Siri? Impostor! Meet Xiaoi Bot, a 2010 Chinese assistant for Android. | Remember this.

How about just take the ipad and enjoy not having textbooks to carry or maintain. There's probably some kind of universal search within the text too so you don't even have to skim.
I would start wearing shirts with the Android logo on it every day. This is a ploy to get kids in school to get use to the Apple product so that they would be more inclined to buy Apple products. So on that note, I would make a movement to suggest that the school also gives the option of Android devices. And refuse the iPad. Apple is a whore and should be treated as such. No you fools, it needs to be ignored. Whores give you diseases.
And if you do take it. I woold love for you to throw it on the ground!! Lol!
But sadly you would get in trouble. Now, if you some how tripped and broke it. Well, that would be just as funny. And would be considered justice of some sort or another.

Hasn't Android supported multiple cores since GB? Pretty sure because I remember all the talk about it. I had the Atrix and it was one of the first dual cores.

I talk to my phone all the time, it's much easier. I use to only when searching for things but now that I have Google Now I use it much more. Most of the time if I am around somebody they ask me what kind of phone I have. I mean I wouldn't use it at a funeral and I don't go to church or Walmart and usually never the mall, I try to avoid mass social situations unless there is a DJ/producer I want to hear.

THIS THIS THIS! A battery is not a feature of the OS, and while making the OS more battery efficient is always good.. I want to see some advancement in the state of batteries, the phone has improved so much in the past few years it's crazy, the battery needs to catch up. I'm talking at least 3 day+ battery no matter the use in all devices.

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?
I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.
Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day
The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.
