It would seem that things are heating up in Europe over the alleged patent infringements in iPhone VS Droid.  An interesting case where Apple claims that Android (google) has blatantly copied the Apple slide to unlock feature.  While technically android requires a sliding of the finger to unlock, I think it is more of a password and is not the only option available.  If the patent described a slide a pattern on the screen to unlock then I would consider that Apple has a case.

…and the phone wars continue:
