Apple's Innovation?

I just wrote a piece on sensors in which I mentioned that Apple has been claiming innovative integration of the motion sensor into its IPhone. I would further direct users to the patent which has been submitted by Apple (patent). It outlines apparently an innovative way to stop theft of their precious IPhone.

I find two points very interesting here, firstly as I blogged about in the earlier piece Nokia's 5500 had a 3d sensor in it last year so Apple don't try and claim your integration as innovative.

Secondly I ran across this interesting web article from Brad written back in March 2004 on the motion sensor for sensing emergencies .... Hmm now I see my phone being stolen as an emergency, don't you?

Someone here is not being honest, either Brad's blog entry for March 2004 is a fake, Apple stole the idea off Brad or Brad had inside knowledge about the patent idea and posted it on his web site.

Something does not smell right here!
