Android Thoughts - Opinions, News, Advice & Reviews on Android Devices

"Two Android phone users are suing Google for $50 million in the wake of revelations that their phones might be tracking their locations. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on April 27, is seeking class-action status."

Every day I loose just a little more faith in humanity. In yet another strategic money grab by a couple of Android users Google is now the target of a potential class action lawsuit for tracking their users' location. So what about you? Are gonna sue Google? Did they violate your rights by doing what you told them to? Yay for social progress... I'll leave you with this.

"Whoa! In the world of big-time lawsuits, this must be just about the biggest. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has sued Samsung Electronics for copying "the look and feel" of its iPad tablet and iPhone smartphone."

Well, this one could be fun to watch. I really doubt anything will ever really happen other than maybe a bit of licensing cash swapping hands. Besides, when you really get down to it does Apple even have a leg to stand on? Their complaints center around the hardware design and UI of Samsung's Android phones. Bad news for Apple is that Samsung used this design and a similar UI long before they had Android phones and even before the iPhone was released. It will be interesting to watch this one play out.
