The Orange View (on hiatus) Because Apple is great but it isn't perfect

Apple patent suits land where the iPhone is weakest

Apple's anti-competitive patent war seems most focused on markets where the iPhone is weakest, Zach Epstein points out:

Whether or not competing products do in fact infringe on Apple’s patents, Apple may have another reason to attack its rivals so aggressively in France and Germany: the company is losing ground. New data from Kantar Worldpanel released on Thursday shows that while the launch of the iPhone 4S was a huge hit in the United States and the United Kingdom, smartphone users in key markets like France and Germany were seemingly not as impressed with the handset.
