With Apple seeming to have the upper hand, HTC has been scrambling for leverage to fight back.

The Daily Slash: April 29th 2010
Today, for all intents and purposes, was a big day. Maybe not as big as yesterday, but it's pretty close. Especially if you consider the two cancellations, with the HP Slate getting tossed to the side, along with Microsoft's Courier digital journal. A sad day for the tablet market, indeed. But, we move on, forward unto . . . Well, whatever it is you're heading into. Either way, welcome to the Thursday edition of the Daily Slash.

Apple’s target really Google in HTC patent punch-up?

Ex-Apple PR delivers Palm’s IP response
Palm’s response to Apple today was notable for a few reasons. The obvious was their no-blink attitude, facing up to notoriously-litigious Apple and, in effect, telling them to put their lawsuit money where their IP mouth is. Less obvious, but a whole lot more amusing, is Palm’s choice of spokesperson: Lynn Fox, currently vice-president of public relations at Palm, and formerly head of Mac PR at Apple.
Palm squares up to Apple over IP legal threats
