I am pleased to report that the court system is finally starting to get tired of Apple’s ridiculousness in trying to attack Android at every corner. While this isn’t necessarily a huge win for Android, it just goes to show how sadly Apple may be loosing their footing when it comes to innovation, as they are focusing more on litigation. Either way, Android will continue to reign supreme!
