Microsoft has just sue Motorola , major user of Android, after signing an agreement of around license patents with HTC mobile , also a fan of Google's system in its phones. Why?
intelligence compared current smartphones is ephemeral: act calmly leaving Moore's Law as it continues to do on other areas of the Internet , it is this plane side "smart" phone on the current iPhone or type Nexus One to these distinctive features of their current high-end (high-resolution color screen, permanent internet connection, GPS chip, etc..) become absolutely standard. This rise in
range of the entire world fleet is a huge challenge: it relates to term the 5 billion people connected by mobile on this planet!
The functional quantum leap made by these new phones stimulates the entry of new players like Google that these five billion handsets in use are not at stake in the battle. It is the massive use of Internet and mobile advertising revenues that will ensue is interested.
That's why he gives generously to all its Android handsets manufacturers: to enable them to innovate more quickly in the combined effect of increasingly functionally rich.
Android has become the workhorse of the new mobile manufacturers who have no previous assets to protect. It is against the nightmare of Nokia the Finnish company done everything it can to scuttle Android to benefit from its Symbian and course officially refuses to use it directly itself. But in doing so, it isolates itself: it has lost 2 renowned partners: Sony Ericsson and Samsung that drop Symbian for Android.
impacts of Android are also so strong (customer relationship, financial flows, etc..) that mobile operators as Orange, Vodafone come to imagine their own alternative given the current failures of past and current leader Nokia full turbulence.
Microsoft's response is logical: the Redmond company will sue successively to all handset manufacturers because it lives Android software licenses if it produces or royalties from its extensive patent portfolio. On the eve of the launch of Windows 7 Mobile she must do everything in its power by nullifying the efforts of the competition.
Even if Google tries to cut off his wings directly , teams must attack them Ballmer producers combined to be cases much more tangible and therefore legal results faster and sliced! He must either stop the spread of combined competitors either extort maximum royalties from its patent portfolio. This is good legal tactic, simple and effiace! It
Oracle has so far contested legally the "strategic problem" in terms of the dominance of Google in the market for electronic gadgets (it is already present in four main tools of our lives daily ...) To try to saw Android based Dalvik by demonstrating that, although totally rewritten from scratch by Google violates basic patents of Java technology. Only Oracle can launch such an attack: it holds patents complained since its acquisition of Sun and has deep enough pockets to pay for the battalions of lawyers required for a trial as seminal!
James Gossling, father of Java, casts doubt on the viability of this trial on the sole basis of patent infringement : This position is valid, therefore the attack tactics against Microsoft and Motorola that of Apple HTC some time ago.
All these trials in all directions in any case validate the comments of E. Schmidt: the new wave of technology (and therefore speculative-financiero ...) is in the mobile Internet .
As for all those trials on the merits, we will have time to dissect in the coming months: they will last for years! Google can only help - in the back room - Apple and Motorola HTC cons cons Microsoft Besides dealing with Oracle's own business.
can be sure that the procedures will be conducted in the state of the art and thus last for many years .....
