HTC Delays Evo 4G LTE Launch as U.S. Customs Investigates Shipments for Breach of Apple Patent - Mac Rumors

Does anyone know if this issue applies to the EVO V 4g?

No, it shouldn't affect it at all.

Evo 4G LTE is a brand new phone, the Evo V isn't.

If there was an issue it should have been stopped a year ago when it first popped up.

I do have to laugh at how one sided that article title is, from my POV Apple is the one who caused the delays. HTC was fully compliant with the court's ruling.

It is from Mac Rumors. :rofl:

That is the answer, short and sweet. Thank you.

Apple thinks the entire touch screen smartphone concept belongs to them. They believe if they do not license anything Android will go away.

Yeah, I don't quite follow how they can claim a patent on making a link. Can anyone explain that? Seems if you can patent that, then the patent system is meaningless.

yea I love how apple's trying to get rid of android and failing at it miserably

Basically they patented to have a pop up of options when you click a link/ phone number... So if you click a phone number or link it would ask you what you want to do. The Evo 4g LTE and One X IIRC have this type of sytem in place instead of opening the respective app like android normally does (e.g. Click a phone number the phone number is copied into the dialer). IMO it's pretty stupid.

Usually in Android it would give you the options if you had more than one app that could open it (browser/YouTube for youtube videos). HTC removed that and has an option in the newer phones to set up the default app to use.

They were fully compliant in all the devices shipped after the ruling. That is how all of the new HTC devices work (LTEvo, One X, One S, One V, etc). Which is why this is all dumb, because they weren't infringing after the ruling.

I believe the sensation XE wasn't allowed in the USA because of some patent that apple claimed upon and only the phones that "infringed" it aren't allowed to be sold in the USA such as that one.
