iPhone Banned in the USA

[Computer Hope Admin]

Eastman Kodak is after your iPhone AND they want to take away your BlackBerry.

They won't come and pry the device out of your hand, but they definitely want to halt the phones from being imported until they get their piece of the pie.

Eastman Kodak claims that Apple Computers and Research in Motion are guilty of infringement of patents. Kodak has taken the step to request the U.S. International Trade Commission prevent both companies from importing their smart phones into the United States. Nokia filed a similar complaint in December 2009.

Bah! Nothing a few hundred million won't fix. I wonder if Obama is watching this? His Blackberry addiction was a big deal when he was running for office...
 

I have total respect for anyone who consciously set's out to be a patent attorney for a corporation of the likes of Apple or Kodak. I wonder just how many patents are involved in today's smart phones?

This is something we will only see in a court of law and no consumers will be affected...as you said their not gonna come grab your iPhone...
On top of that i predict a minimum of 3 years litigation...
