Who is right or wrong won't matter it will be who has the deepest pockets and Apple has the warchest to go nuclear as Steve wanted. The question is will they. All those patents Apple and Google have bought up are like nukes stockpiles that US and USSR had, mutually assured destruction but if one company thinks the other can corner the other out just by tying them up in the courts they will push the button. For them it is a business decision and I can see Apple going to war with Google because they know they will take a hit but they have the deeper pockets that will ultimately end up with the courts ruling in their favor. That's not fair, that's just how fucked up US patent law is but that what it is.
If we talk about only google, sure, but Google would be backed by Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc. By attacking Google, they'd be attacking all of these companies products as well. And they sure as shit won't stand for that.

As for cable not being an issue, google sank a ton of cash on hardware and they lost their shirts so don't say that ship has sailed because it hasn't. Google swung and missed, hard now it is Apples turn and I suspect they are on to something that will knock it out of the park just like Ipad did. People say that was a waste of time too when it came out and now hospitals and school have them everywhere. They own the tablet market because they knew to focus on the end user, not on the engineering. Faster and cheaper don't mean shit if no one uses it and they end up dumping product like the
HP Touchpad.
The only difference is Google makes a good product but doesn't market the fuck out of it. Apple puts gimmicky crap, makes it shiny, and says they reinvented it, when the product has been available for years. People use it cause they're stupid.
