It's worth noting that although the lawsuits were issued yesterday, the consortium was finalised in June 2011 when all of the group members were strongly involved in non-Android smartphones.

It's not unreasonable to suspect that this action was planned as part of that formation and priced into the bid.

Presumably Sony are hoping to be the last Android manufacturer, because all of the rest have been sued?
