How interesting.

Google was bashed for taking so long to respond, and for not backing their developers on the cases, etc. It turns out, they were taking their time preparing to fight the patents and invalidate them, and in the end, it may be their attack on the patents themselves that saves the day for developers on all platforms.

I still believe that Google could have done a better job of communicating with developers and the community. But this is good news indeed.
