Apple to be the Android killer? Windows Phone 7 Series the Savior?

Boy Genius Report writes: "Apple is now on the proverbial warpath with HTC as its first target and other manufacturers are fearful that they will be next. Apple reportedly held conversations with 'Tier 1' device manufacturers to inform them of Apple’s intentions. The winner in this fearful frenzy, ironically, may be Microsoft which is reportedly swooping in with its extensive patent library in hand, and promising Windows Phone 7 Series as a safe harbor to companies that are fearful of Apple’s wrath. It all sounds like a daytime soap opera conjured up for the geek world but it is unfortunately and incredibly true."
