The Signal (IntoMobile Podcast: Episode 23)

Does Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) really have that much of a stranglehold on multitouch?

News might have been a little light this week, but we still manage to bring some good listening this episode, as we have patent attorney Barry Negrin from Pryor Cashman to run us through Apple’s legal situation with multi-touch. Elan had initiated legal action aginst the iPhone manufacturer last week, so we thought it might be worth exploring how the patents affect Apple and other handset manufacturers, like Palm (NSDQ: PALM). There’s plenty of other news, as ever, just hit the jump for your weekly dosage. We’re having another go at giving away our Plantronics bluetooth headset to anyone in the U.S. – just leave a comment and you’ve got a chance to win!
