Apple Slaps Lawsuit on HTC and Nexus One

If you think iPhone-like features are showing up on other smartphones, apparently Apple's lawyers agree. The iPhone maker said Tuesday it has filed suit against device maker HTC for violating 10 patents relating to user interface, architecture and hardware.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the company could 'sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it.' So, he added, Apple decided 'to do something about it.'
