Ask HN: Apple Vs. Android, how bad will Google be sued?

With Apple's big win over Samsung, Android is next. Remember what Steve said...

"I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong."

There isn't much that they can sue Google over. Most of the stuff that Samsung got sued over was due to hardware and Touchwiz customization. Samsung main problem is that it can't roll out updates quickly enough. Samsung updates are really painfully slow - I know because I have a Galaxy nexus, and have owned a Nexus S and my wife had a Galaxy S. Updates are non-existent.

Android has had work around for everything since a couple of versions ago but touchwiz hasn't been updated at all. The bounce-back effect was replaced with the 3d tilt. Android is safe from Apple litigation. Samsung would have been too, if they had better programmers. Kies is an abomination.
