Apple And ATT Sued Over Visual Voicemail

imageWe all know visual voicemail. Most of us use it quite often, and of those that do not a big percentage have unlocked phones. Could visual voicemail be an idea from someone else other than Apple or ATT? Klausner Technologies seems to think so, because they are suing both companies for a total of $360 million for copyright infringement. Klausner Technologies holds patents for retrieving messages from a menu which displays the caller, their number, and other such info. Sound familiar? What is worse is that they have successfully sued both AOL and Vonage over the same patents.

Basically, it looks as if Klausner Technologies will get a pretty large settlement. How this will affect both Apple and ATT has yet to be determined.

What are your thoughts on the suit?

  1. How could you say it looks as if Klausner will get a big settlement,? You dont know the specifics of the case or the evidence either way.
    Don you are a moron for inputing your unprofessional opinion here. Why not write for the enquire or star or a similar rag magazine where facts dont matter at all.

  2. Stephen, I always thought blogs were all about “opinions”.  This is *not* a news source thus his opinion is just fine.  This is just his comments and thoughts about news items, not the news itself.

  3. Yes, of course blogs are about opinions, if you read my statement I mention that,
    but there are inteligent opinions bases on facts and insight, and then there are incinduary, fear based opinions, which are more of a reaction then anything noteworty.
    His is the later .
    So he is entitled to his opinions yes, and I am entitled to my opinion of his opinion.
