I was planning on developing a few paid apps to test the market over the next few months, but this combined with the other mobile patent lawsuits has made me seriously reconsider it.

It's a pity the app store servers reside in the US. Otherwise i wouldn't have to worry about these things!

You're not really any safer building any other kind of software, although you may be subject to less patent troll scrutiny with a web app or something.
