A sample of it:
With this lawsuit, Apple is standing in the way of [the] future.It's a dangerous strategy. Patent lawsuits take years to wind through the courts, but when this one is finished, no good will have come from it.

The suit can't do much to help Apple, either, especially if it sparks an industrywide patent war. Apple's competitors also hold a wide portfolio of mobile-device patents, and I'm sure that they all have their legal departments working overtime to search for any claims that the iPhone and iPad might be violating.
