Today in Mobile

The fallout continues this morning following Friday night’s judgment in the big patent case between Apple and Samsung: Samsung shares were down 7 percent after the jury awarded Apple more than $1 billion, while the iPhone maker saw its shares reach an all-time high. The judgment doesn’t spell doom for Samsung or Android in general, and we’re likely to see appeals that could take months (or even years) to play out. The verdict could give Microsoft’s Windows Phone a lift, as Computerworld points out, but it’s tough to overstate how big a win this is for Apple. Regardless of what you think of the U.S. patent system — and I think it’s a mess — Apple is likely to continue to use its intellectual property to wage war against Android in the patent courts.
