I'm actually getting sick of this Klausner company. They've sued every manufacture, cell phone company, just eveyone.
I wonder how sick you'd be if they were your patents.
That is just unethical. If you have a patent, I believe you should be obligated to use the patent and bring your product to market. Klausner has had the patent since 1994, why haven't they produced an application for it?RIM's VVM app for example is made by RIM, not Klausner.

In the end the courts found BlackBerry to be essential to national security and determined that was not an option. RIM eventually had to pay NTP about 650 million dollars to settle.
All I'm saying is...

If people threaten to not use their product anymore they may shutup.
