Amazon, how dare you confuse your customers that way!

In its amended complaint, Apple now says that Amazon is trying to confuse customers further by dropping the "for Android" part of "Amazon Appstore for Android." This began after Amazon started advertising the Kindle Fire, the company's tablet-like e-reader based on Android that some consider a low-budget competitor to the iPad. But it's not the Kindle Fire that's being targeted now by Apple—rather, Apple believes Amazon is using the Kindle Fire to aid the branding transition so that Amazon's Appstore seems even more similar to Apple's App Store.

When I saw the headline, my initial thought was that Apple was finally filing a suit over the Fire's black coloring and rounded corners, but its just a re-file of their alleged app store trademark. Because, you know, customers would be confused the Amazon Appstore would be tied to the Amazon Kindle, as opposed to iTunes/iPad/iPhone.

Does Apple really file more or do we just hear about it because it's Apple?

But Rambus had a real argument. Too bad they lost last week. Apple thinks they invented "App". Shit, every IT tech since the 80s called apps apps.

Sure cheezy, the problem is Bat not Apple. Just like the whole Penn St. deal is the kids' problem for not saying no, and not the university's problem for trying to cover it up. I mean, covering up brand-harming pedophilia on campus was just good business, right?

Never said that. I agree, apple files a lot of frivolous lawsuits. No argument there. Our local GG&P chief propaganda officer© seems to be trolling the internet all day every day in search of articles mentioning this. It gets tiresome. One of the reasons why this forum is becoming less and less active.

Um cheezy, that link wasn't some obscure phone blog. That is Ars. No trolling needed, that is a daily stop for many nerds.

What is really tiresome is that a once vibrant and fast-moving mobile market is purposefully being slowed down by Apple and the American carriers.
