This is hilarious. They are suing on the grounds that the Xoom could be confused with an ipad. Lol.
This is Apple being Apple.
What else will they copy and lay claim to as if they invented it?
If the devil were a company, he would be Apple.

I think they will claim they invented the question mark next.
No they are suing over the fact that the xoom looks just like the ipad. Both are rectangular have a screen.
Android is superior in nearly every way. Why would I want a device that's locked down to the point that it feels like a child's toy.This just in! Apple patents the shape "rectangle".
I really hope all these lawsuits blow up in Apple's face. They are trying to eliminate the consumers freedom of choice by suing the pants off any competing device. As each day goes by and another lawsuit is announced I become more and more assured that I made the right choice of going with Android. I don't want to be associated with a company that's only way to compete is to eliminate its competition. Mark my words this is the beginning of a transfer of power from Apple to Android it may take a few years but with Androids momentum and a lot of people being turned away from Apple's products based on it politics. The way I look at it all this is good for Android in the long run.
We all know that once iOS5 comes out, Apple is going to sue Google because the pull down notification bar is the same.
I think Google would have a case against them, maybe. They (Apple) did this not long after the Nexus One came out, they sued HTC. I don't know what came of that, maybe it's still in the courts. Copyright and patent stuff can get really deep and, there is a lot involved.
