newly awarded Apple infrared patent... discuss.
great news for Android users
I predict the entertainment industry will fully back this technology for anti-piracy purposes, then Apple will simply license it to google and make even more money off of it.
off the top of my head: entertainment industry backing isn't going to make this happen. apple will roll it out, android will refuse to implement, concert-goers will revolt and switch to android. all the Livenations and Universal Music Groups can't make Google incorporate this tech. the big G is in the driver's seat on this one.
second thought: Google Play. depending how much money they're making there, and the music biz's willingness to pull the plug there, perhaps they can muster enough leverage...
