The absolutely infruriating thing about you android fanboys/Apple haters is that you guys have claimed for years on end that "multitouch isn't important" and that it doesn't stack up to features like "cut and paste" or "multitasking" which you've also been bitching about for years on end with the iPhone and now the iPad.

Yet when an android device finally has it you guys are all of sudden making up nonsense about how others invented it and pointing to random obscure bullshit presentations that do NOTHING to change the fact that Apple was the FIRST to patent it.

Hence Apple has the legal right to defend themselves in this matter.

If the roles were reversed you guys would be championing Google. And you would have every right to do so. And I as an Apple supporter just want the law to be followed. If Apple doesn't own the patent then they should lose.

Plain and simple. I'm trying to be fair. It's you guys who are biased against Apple who are making it personal.

@devScott

That's stupid...

How can you patent something so basic. It's not even an invention you idiot.

God MADE that.

@devScott

Okay so contact that guy and please get him to sue Apple so this can end once and for all.

@wilvo

How is Apple "confused"

They are in the business to make products that make MONEY.

As in cold hard cash.

Which is why despite the lack of that hugely bloated overglorified hot mess that is Flash the iPhone still sells like hotcakes and the iPad is on the verge of doing the same...

Meanwhile Apple & AT&T are laughing all the way to the bank.

@devScott

You really expect me to go digging thru 363 pages of some random PDF file from the Univ of Delaware...

Umm yeah okay...I'll get back to you on that one.

Say YOU'RE RIGHT.

Lets say this random guy invented...umm again I ask why didn't he patent it?

And okay so he didn't patent it. That's his decision. Apple comes along and DOES patent it. Hence they have the legal right to do whatever the freak they want to do with it.

Especially if they developed it in a way that's significantly different to that man you're referring to.

Again this is my opinion. I'm just sick of you Apple haters raking Apple over the coals for simply suing another company. Apple is in the busines to MAKE MONEY. Not to foster goodwill from a bunch of tech geeks who hate them anyways will ALWAYS hate them.

@Mtmrob

If it's been around for so long then why the fuck and how the fuck did Apple get a PATENT for it?

You guys are just jealous of Apple.

Which is pathetic. Apple has every legal right to do this. And it's up to them to protect their business. If they want to "sue everybody" then that's their damn business.

Just like if Google had some patent that Apple was violating then Google has the SAME right to sue.

Quit with the double standards Apple haters.

It's okay for Nokia and everyone else under the sun to sue Apple but Apple can't return the favor?

GTFO...

@nubbily

Why would Apple have the patent then if they didn't invent it.

People keep saying Apple didn't invent multitouch. Where's the freaking proof?

More importantly if whatever obscure company you point to did develop why didn't they go get a patent.

Bottom line is that steve jobs may be a douche but he's 100% right in this matter. And he has the law on his side when it comes to this matter.

The android fanboys and the Apple haters will just have to admit that Apple has won this round.

@DirtyVegas

Sucks for T-Mo customers....

@r3loaded

Already tried handbrake. It sucks to make it plain and simple.

The program I'm using is a lot quicker and easier to use. I just have a simple question about the resolution of the video. I just want to know if I choose 1280x720p will my iPhone 3GS play it....yes or no?

And if not should I just stick with the 640x480p?

Thanks

@TheLionOfAzzalle

SORRY to the rest of you.

I know I'm off topic but I seriously need some guidance.

It's not that serious....take a chill pill.
