Apple granted the mother of all mobile patents

It may sound snoozy, but the patent — which covers graphical user interfaces ranging from email to Camera Roll to menu lists to the multi-touch interface in general — looks like a dangerous weapon for Apple as it battles Android handset makers.

I don’t usually post about patents, but this is a doozy.

  1. I dare you to come up with one,
    you may contact your google handlers for
    better talking points.

  2. I don’t have any Google handlers.

    So prior art showing a list, separated by lines with a title and a buttons on the side will be hard to find? Just look at images of the Ovi Store app. The core features are the exactly same as the first image on the post above: a list with a title and two buttons on the side.

    The iChat messaging style I completely credit to Apple.
