You wrote a very astute article yesterday on Android MultiTouch and “something going on” that the public isn’t aware of.  Indeed.

Eric Schmidt and Steve Jobs had “an understanding” up until this past August to not compete to the maximum extent possible in the mobile space because the “cost would be greater than the good”.  The “good” : both Google and Apple can power forward wrecking the market share of old timers like Palm, Nokia, and RIM.  The “cost” : being “found out”. What does that mean???

In 2003 an asian engineer from MIT approached Steve Jobs to propose a project to launch Apple into mobile.  He showed Steve a cellular touch controlled Tablet with edge to edge screen that was a cellular Internet access device and eBook reader.  He also showed Steve the designs for an app store.  He then died.  Steve literally stole all that he saw and called it is own, filing 100’s of perjured patent applications on the matter and inducing others at Apple to take credit for things none of them invented.  Under US law, the filing of perjured patent applications renders the entire iPhone iPod Touch patent portfolios void due to “fraud on the patent office”.  Eric Schmidt knew what was happening, and thus knew Google could launch its Android platform with impunity at least with respect to Apple, vis-a-vis Apple not being able to stop Google.  In November 2007 Eric gave the go-ahead to push full steam ahead with Android.  Andy Rubin quickly dumped “Danger Inc” on Steve Ballmer, cashing out and going “suckers…suckers” to Redmond.  Nobody expected the stolen technology to trigger a revolution.  Yes, the iPhone met with enthusiasm since its announcement on January 9th 2007, but nobody expected it to trigger a revolution.  At least not till maybe 2009.  But by 2009 it was too late to back out of a growing crime.  Palm entered the fray.  And the public started demanding a Tablet from Apple based on the iPhone reference design.  Apple cannot sue anybody.  Repeat — CANNOT sue anybody because they cannot face being deposed under oath, under penalty of perjury.  Every iPhone clone maker gets a ticket to ride, with Steve Jobs banking the future of his company on brand recognition and marketing hype skillfully manipulated from within.  “Banking the future of his company”?  That only feeds the SEC fraud component even more, and thus the crime snowballs even further.  But there’s no way to back out.  There’s so much more to this story that only insiders know.  But nobody’s gonna go public for obvious reasons.  But th!
e Tablet
is about to make things much more complicated, because Bill Gates is foaming at the mouth over the spectre of Steve Jobs doing wwith Tablets what he did with the iPhone.

Many of us saw the dead MIT guys designs in part.  But the public can only see what he put in patent publications.  Check out US 7,016,084 which is one in the sequence.  It was filed in 1993 (if you check the prosecution history section, ie. “Related Application Data”).  Take a look particularly at Fig 43a, 45d, 51, 52,62 and in general Figure 43 onward.  Touch tablet, cellular connected, edge to edge screen, etc.  Because that patent was filed before Netscape released its 1st browser! — it uses unconventional terminology like “Node Access requirement” instead of URL.  But make no mistake, this is a hypermedia browsing device (see fig 60a, 59) that does it cellularly (fig 43a).

Steve Jobs stole from here, and what isn’t in any of those patents will be a part of Apple’s future product map, based on the other disclosural matter.  Eric Schmidt knows bits of it but Steve keeps the documents at home and isnt stupid enuff to share it with him.

The battle for mobile space is likely to get weirder aa more products clash — but you can predict that behind it all, will be a “mysterious lack of desire” to air the arguments out in court (under oath).  It is this secret that underlies the strangeness you very astutely noticed involving multitouch…but that is only the beginning.
