The mighty Apple is in the middle of lawsuits with Nokia, HTC and Motorola, to name a few. Nokia and Apple are currently in court, each claiming the other violated patent infringements. The 2 companies have been suing and countersuing since 2009. It doesn’t look like it’s going well for Apple though.

With all the concern about cell phone radiation, it’s a shame that Apple has apparently banned a new app that monitors cell phone radiation emissions. See my blog (Apple bans app that measures cell phone radiation). Checking the EWG list before you buy a new phone seems like a smart move. Is cell phone radiation a big hype?
