Apple Doesn’t Like Amazon Using ‘Appstore’, So They’re Suing

On the eve of Amazon’s Android Appstore launch, Apple has filed a lawsuit against the company for trademark infringement, seeking to keep the phrase all to themselves. Will Amazon’s one word approach keep them safe? [Bloomberg via 9to5mac]

    This, among Apples usually douche tactics, will prevent me ever investing in Apple gear ever again. I don’t know why companies let these hipster-geeks push them around.

    Booo to Apple, no longer waiting for the iPhone 5 and going to move over to an Android device and will even check into Win7 Mobile as well for a comparison but I’ve been unhappy with a few apple decisions and still don’t like itunes either and the way they think they can call the shots for me, I was happy with my first iphone a number of years back but did not update to iPhone 4 (still using 3GS).. bye bye Apple
