It's not an invention, its a gesture... its almost as stupid as the patent for "swinging on a swing". I would like to see the validity of “pinch out” tested in a US court.

We're not talking about the gesture. We're talking about what the phone OS does when you use that gesture. Apple patented certain things that can happen when you use the gesture. Google and HTC for instance could probably easily get away with making the phone fart when you use the gesture on the N1. Google and HTC also can't say they didn't see this coming, Apple warned them a year and a half ago. You don’t understand a lot about patents do you? We’re not talking about the gesture.

In my town alone we had several bugs appear with the free GPS, several included wrong destination address, despite the correct address appearing on screen. Also, street view and such, yeah, forget about that unless you live in a major city also of course. Trust me, it doesn’t work flawlessly with Google at all.

If you want to change destinations or such though, you're out of luck.

Others have also warned Apple. You can't complain others are in the words of Steve Jobs, "stepping all over Apples IP", while Apple is actively stepping all over someone elses. If you are defending software patents, then it is you who doesn't understand both the patents and the issues involved. Swinging on a swing sunshine, swinging on a swing.
