    I think you'll find Apple thought of that first. Or patented it first. Or something.

    Can Google sue over something they have made freely available via an open source license? I would have thought not.

    Re: News - Apple iOS 5 released today

    In other news, my ye olde ipod touch (3rd gen) is still being updated.. it's been through iOS 3, 4 and now 5. Not bad for free, though this doesn't seem as big an update as 4 was.

    "Software updates available over the air without tethering" and "Wireless sync to iTunes" are the main ones I'm looking forward to. Finally.

    And ouch, it's big. 637MB.
