You may not remember an article we wrote, back near the beginning of December, about HTC being sued by Apple which could result in HTC Android devices being banned here in the USA. Well it seems that Apple has actually won that suit and HTC could now be facing that possible ban starting next year.

If you haven’t heard about Lodsys LLC by now then you are about to get familiar with them pretty quickly.
