It is already known that the Android is superior to the IOS when it comes to the market share and Steve Jobs and his team must do something in order to stop the rise of Google’s platform. One idea that might works would be the legal battles based on patents, such as the Samsung and the newer HTC cases. The problem is that HTC doesn’t have such a rich portfolio of patents and as a result is represents the weakness of the Android “army”.
HTC already suffered defeat in the courtroom in front of Apple. If the Cupertino giant wins, then the HTC products will stop being sold in the U.S. There is also another possibility: a deal with Apple which would mean some fees paid for the used patents. This does not look too good for HTC which is relying on the Android based models for its U.S. profits. Obviously, there are other markets that the Taiwanese are currently on but the United States dictates the current trends.
In addition, there are fears that Google could cease working with HTC in the implementation of the Android on its terminals. There is also another option worthy of taken into consideration. The Asian producer could focus on the Windows Phone 7 as analysts predict it a bright future or continue to fight with Apple, hoping that its Android models sales are not prohibited in the U.S.
Interestingly, Motorola has a lawsuit pending with Apple. Could it be a coincidence that the Xoom and Droid’s manufacturer has the richest portfolio of patents to date? If Motorola wins, then this Android partner of HTC could help the Taiwanese company, abolishing the patents claimed by Apple. Meanwhile, the creator of the iPhone, iPod and iPad has another lawsuit prepared against HTC, this time based on 16 patents, so even if Apple loses to Motorola, HTC’s fate is still uncertain. Will Apple adjudicate such a dirty victory at the expense of lawyers and not sales?
