The industry should collectively fight the multi-touch patent
I think if Apple starts threatening companies, the industry should collectively challenge the multi-touch patent. I remember in the 80s, Apple bullied other companies over their use of GUIs. Also, there needs to be some organization in the computer industry against the use of software patents which stifle innovation. One thing is for sure, the industry should not allow Palm to fight alone against Apple over multi-touch.
