CNet reports that Microsoft is now claiming that Android, too, infringes on its patents. "Microsoft and HTC announced they have inked a new patent deal that specifically provides the Taiwanese cell phone maker with the right to use Microsoft's patented technologies in phones running Google's Android operating system. Microsoft said it has been in talks with other phone makers." (Thanks to Amit Shah).
