We were wondering when Google would have something to say about Apple's patent lawsuit against HTC, since the majority of the claims appear to implicate Android itself, and while the knives aren't out yet, we just got a short-but-sweet statement from a spokesperson:

"We are not a party to this lawsuit. However, we stand behind our Android operating system and the partners who have helped us to develop it."
We're quite curious to see whether this means Google will contribute money and/or manpower to HTC's legal defense -- we'd bet we'll see some of Eric Schmidt's crew at the table when this thing finally hits a courtroom. In related news, HTC 's posted up a short, more formal version of the statement we received yesterday, saying that it "believes that consumer choice is a key component to success in the smartphone industry," and that it doesn't think the suit "poses a short-term material impact to its business." That makes sense, seeing as it'll be weeks before HTC even files a response to the suit, and months -- if not years -- before it's resolved. We'll see how it goes.

Some people are just meant to be blackberry users.
Yup, I only have 300 minutes on my plan, but usually use over 1,000 messages, not including AIM or BBM of course.

Its funny that he gave up on the N1 after like 3 days
How is it funny? At least I gave it a shot and I love teh Google so I really wanted to like this phone, but the Android OS is nowhere near Blackberry's messaging. It's just not for me.

Oh, and the battery dropped 30% in 9 hours (with more use), where as the N1 dropped about 50% in 6 hours.

So was it a matter of not having BBM available for Android that killed it for you? I understand the battery life thing cuz I had to change the way I thought of battery life coming from a Motorola Q.
