Apple Faces Temporary iPhone, iPad Ban In Germany 193
An anonymous reader writes "A regional court has temporarily banned Apple from marketing or supplying iPhones and iPads in Germany, following a suit brought about by Motorola. However, Apple said that the judgement 'does not affect our ability to do business or sell products in Germany at this time.' This may have something to do with the respondent in the case being Apple Inc, the US parent company, and not Apple GmbH, the company's local subsidiary."
It's far from Apple's only problem.. (Score:1, Interesting)
I just had my iPhone nuked over the weekend because of a SIM-unlock that went wrong. According to the engineer I talked to (3rd level support) via another phone, this is not uncommon (no, it isn't fixed yet).
He then told me that I'm lucky not to have a 4S as there appear to be massive problems with them like dropping Net connections for no reason. Apparently the combination of iOS5 and iPhone 4S is *not* a happy one..

Seriously? You are criticizing Samsung for "dodging" scam patents like rounded corners? Why not criticize Apple for filing lawsuits based on scam patents? The JooJoo/Crunchpad had rounded corners before the iPad. Apple is just a patent parasite. We all know it.
