\"\" Android news this week was dominated by Apple — in the form of a lawsuit Cupertino filed against Android phone maker HTC<\/a> alleging that it infringes on 20 patents that Apple holds \u201crelated to the iPhone\u2019s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware.\u201d The move is clearly a shot at Google as Android is at the heart of all of the HTC phones named in the suit. I believe Apple is also running scared ahead of the Chrome OS<\/a> release due out later this year.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I had a chance to do a full review of Motorola’s latest Android phone, the Devour<\/a>. The Devour is one of the heaviest smartphones I’ve tried, with a sleek industrial design that’s pleasing to the eye. It runs Android 1.6, not the latest and greatest version of the OS, but it handles it without any laggy performance. And of course, it comes\u00a0 with the social networking aggregating MotoBlur technology.<\/p>\n
