Please take note, however, anyone who travels to Germany and connects with a MobileMe account will lose push services permanently

Ouch! Glad I don't use that service.

Apple is still appealing against what it calls an 'invalid' Motorola patent, however it's clear that the firm's period for reasonable inaction against the initial ruling has now passed

translation being that if they did nothing for much longer then they'd be held in contempt presumably?

Got to wonder if the "invalid" Moto patent is any better or worse than the slide-left-to-right-to-unlock or it's-a-tablet design patents that Apple have been using to persecute Motorola and Samsung.

Said it before, I really don't like the way that Apple try and use thin patents to stifle any prospective competition.
