The engineering mistake that placed the dual antenna arrays on the outside edge of the iPhone is a first year product engineering mistake – one that I would not assume Apple made due to lack of senior engineering expertise. We knew this kind if design was flawed at Motorola in the early 90′s and Nokia was the first to lead the Cell phone market with it’s famous body antenna design.
Apple and HTC have been hammering away at each others patent portfolio when most of the actual intellectual property patents are completely obvious to any designer in the industry. I would expect they will wipe out each others patent claims and in light of the recent Biliski case Read the rest of this entry »
