Since the Galaxy Nexus is under Apple's litigious foot, it occurred to me that Apple is just getting started with suing everyone else for what they want to claim they invented. This is just a brief list that came to mind of claims Apple has made or will make. Feel free to add to the list.

  • Power button
  • Ability to change volume
  • Ability to play music from a media file
  • Widgets
  • Voice-to-text
  • The Internet
  • E-mail
  • Digital cameras
  • Rechargeable batteries
  • Electricity
  • Gravity
  • Bread
  • Sliced bread
  • Toasted bread
  • Google Maps
  • Sunlight
  • Moonlight
  • Hotdogs
  • Captain Morgan rum
  • Sexual reproduction
  • Asexual reproduction
  • Aluminum
  • Chocolate
  • Pyramids of Giza
  • Water
  • Great Wall of China
  • Lava

Mathamatics
The periodic table
Arthur Conan Doyle....

The pyramid one cracks me up.
 
Using a battery to power a phone
Using a cord with voltage to charge a battery
Using public utilities to create voltage in a cord

Using a display on a phone
Holding a phone closer to your ear to make it louder
Holding a phone in an awkward way to allow its radio to display more bars

A display that rotates 90 degrees to display in landscape
A display that rotates 180 degrees to display in portrait
A display that rotates 270 degrees to display in landscape
A display that rotates 360 degrees to display in portrait
A display you can spin on its axis to show others the display and show you the back of the phone

Apple were the first to create www.androidcentral.com and have filed injunctions to shut the site down. Furthermore, all those services that are only available in the US, well, you guessed it, Apple created them too.
 
The English language being used in any type of technology.

Apple will file for a patent on displaying words on a screen!
