I'm no Apple fanboi but I'm still gonna call Patent Troll. Come on - his idea is basically to reformat a website so it's usable on a small screen. All this does is highlight the problems with the US patent system, the actual court case is inconsequential - he will never win.

EMG - as in Elliot my god!
I hope he gets Gotfuchted!
According to his patent,
"wherein the simplified navigation interface is not presented through a standard web browser."
Now who's going on Safari, innit?
Isn't he the real estate hound, still trying to collect from the Tower of Babel, and cuneiform characters for writing?
Now really, were we not adequately apprised of our present future by Chester Gould and Dick Tracy?
I acquiesce to The Beatles:

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He say "i know you, you know me"

He bag production he got walrus gumboot

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

So this guy if he wins would own every phone browser out there. I love it when this happens. Some guy somewhere has a patent that is doing absolutely nothing. Waits a few years, and then goes on a patent killing spree. So let me get this strait, he patented the the means in which HTML gets converted to XML on a display? How can you do that when you don't own a browser or the device? yeah you can patent an idea, but if your not in control of how the browser handles the information or the phone itself, how can you say you own the way it would work? That's like saying I can patent the way and engine combusts fuel, while not having a patent on the engine or the fuel. I hope this guy loses.

Who is Gibson and what does he have to do with Elliot Gottfurcht ?
Is Elliot the holder of patent rights or not ?
What does this Gibson entity have to do in this business ?
Why is Gibson announcing the lawsuit ? Is he a lawyer ?

A bit confusing there, could you please clear that up ?
