Steve Jobs' Apple have sued HTC (no mention of Google yet)

Apple announced today that they were suing HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone's user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. Google wasn't mentioned but this is just the latest (and biggest) escalation of the battle of Silicon Valley behemoths.

Steve Jobs said: “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”

So this is why Google was hesitant to put multi-touch on those HTC Android handsets....hmmm...
