Unlock screen in patent trouble?

[DevilInPgh]

Apple Granted Patent for “Slide to Unlock”

What does this mean for the HTC Sense implementation of unlocking?

 

[Mikey47]

The HTC Sense unlock screen is not in trouble -- you swipe down to unlock (not slide to unlock).

But the keyboard may be with the pop-up letters.

This is why software patents are a joke.

apple is sueing them for that...

but it is DRAG to unlock...

i mean theres nothing you can really else say, why would they patent slide to unlock?

give me a break.
