The iFruit company and Patents

This week the iFruit company managed to find a judge who ruled against Samsung and has banned sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the US. As everyone knows, the iFruit company easily has the majority of sales in the Tablet market. The Samsung Tab 10.1 has a very small market share and isn’t a real threat to iFruit sales at all.

So why is the iFruit company being so aggressive in trying every trick in the book to stop competition? That’s an easy question to answer. They don’t want most of the marbles in the game, they want ALL of the marbles. They remind me of MSFT in that they probably have more lawyers on their payroll than they do developers.

I know I am a voice in the wilderness but here’s my opinion (again): Stop all of the lawsuits and let the market decide who wins and loses! If you have the best product at the best price, you win. If you don’t you lose. Unfortunately, that’s too simple a plan to really work.
