This just shows how bad the state of the US Patent Industry is, were instead of making a better product, it's easier to hamstring a competing company.
If the patent is upheld, and Apple, having the hate it does for Android tries and bans Android Phones, then in the end, all it does is hurt the users who want a decent alternative to Apple Products. People expect multi-touch on their phones, and non-physical keyboards. I can just see my mom asking me why her new android phone doesn't swipe to scroll because her last phone did.

Such a shame.
