Hopefully this teaches Apple a little humility and they'll start to control the patent lawsuit nonsense. Try as they might, Apple will never have a cell phone patent portfolio as impressive as Motorola's.

"The separate push email ban would only come into effect if Motorola decided to enforce a second judgement that Apple's iCloud and MobileMe infringed another of its innovations".

this is another concern i would say.......

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a backlash from the German public against Motorola...these are much sought after Apple toys.

I don't get why this is such a big claim when Moto doesn't want to allow Apple to license the patent under reasonable terms? I have a feeling this is all a game in order to slow down their sales...if it can even work.
