As to the Apple lawsuit against HTC, here is a good summary of the patents involved:

But I wouldn't worry too much - it's mostly trying to scare those thinking of licensing Android and kill competition. Especially the UI patents can be invalidated if it ever comes to blows (and Google has the pockets to do it).

It would be like worrying about buying an iPhone because Nokia is suing Apple for infringement involving core technologies (a stronger suit, IMO, even if I don't necessarily agree with it)

It's pretty much insane what they allow patents on these days I think.

Thanks for that link!
