> Despite the Jobs quote saying he wanted to sue Android out of existence, Apple does not really want to drive Android (nor other competitors) itself into oblivion, Apple wants people to stop copying their design. They want to force the copycats to differentiate, if not innovate.

So Apple is suing everyone because they want their competition to differentiate, innovate, and, in general, become better?

No, Apple is suing them, with or without merit, in order to make it harder for competition to compete with them, to make their lives harder, and to ensure own leadership position as long as possible.

In addition, it's not fair to call someone copycat just because it has square screen on square phone. What they had to do, to put round screen on triangular device?
