Apple is trying to patent "App Store"!
Ever wonder why RIM, Samsung, Google, and all those other app makers don't just call their store "App Store" like Apple does? That's because Apple has trademarked the term "App Store"! That's why RIM (makers of BlackBerry phones) calls their store "App World", Google (makers of Android) calls their store "Android Market", and why Samsung calls theirs "Samsung Apps". Now Microsoft is trying to take away their trademark. They say "it makes other companies choose misleading names for their app stores." I agree with Microsoft; it's time for Apple to stop. They even tried to patent multitouch years ago!
