WHAT? Are you seriously daft? Those are CLONES of the iPhone, as originally claimed? Please show me where HTC cloned the iPhone, and where they are being sued for cloning the iPhone. Please - that was the claim made and challenged. You want to change to a different strawman, I'm not going there.

It was claimed that "the HTC is a clone of the iPhone" - so show me where this is the case, please. Or you can keep trying to change the argument to something different, just so you can try to spin as you desire.

Moving goalposts and changing the subject are actions that Democrats and liberals do when they're shown to be wrong - I thought conservatives were better than that...

I was talking about the Samsung. It was a mistake on my part.

The claim is that these are phones that are INFRINGING DESIGN PATENTS. These specific models that I posted are named in the lawsuit Apple has filed against HTC, similar to the one filed against Samsung, whatever the terminology. The list of the HTC phones targeted was taken from court documents and is not even complete. . . It's just a sampling.

There are similar design patent lawsuits filed against several other Android phone makers having to do with both the phone look and feel, and the software look and feel, wending their way through the courts in several countries as well as the US. The Samsung lawsuit is the one that has progressed the furthest, with the HTC close on its heels.

I am retracting nothing about those facts. I have no need to retract. They are the facts, regardless how YOU want to spin it.
