RIM sued for patent infringement Mformation Technologies has announced they are suing BlackBerry maker Research In Motion over patent infringement. Mformation is a handset management software firm.
The firm says RIM has infringed two patents with its BlackBerry smartphone and its management software. There was no other details on what was being infringed or what Mformation was hoping to get out of the suit.

"After refusing to license Mformation's disclosed systems and software, RIM modified its BlackBerry software to include Mformation's patented systems and methods of remote management,"
Mformation said.

"Mformation provides mobile device management solutions to mobile operators and enterprises around the globe. We firmly believe in the importance and value of innovation, and have invested significantly for many years in developing our industry leading device management technology. We are also committed to protecting our intellectual property as it is a core asset of our business when absolutely necessary," said Mark Edwards, Mformation's Chief Executive Officer.

A world with Microsoft, without Apple! Zune would control the 73% of the MP3 player market, 99% of the OS market (considering Linux), the browsers don't change much, the whole world would be all PC!

But we can but dream.

*I do like iPods, but not Macs.
