In your responses, you keep ignoring that this suit has zero to do with Android and would occur for any OS such as Palm, Symbian and Blackberry if these got or had gotten sufficient successful

You're just wrong on both counts:

I did point out on my blog (when I published the infographic of the 37 Android lawsuits) that market share is a factor here.
However, my blog post also explains why it's just one factor, and there are Android-specific reasons, particularly Google's weak patent portfolio (the best way to deal with other industry players) and the fact that Google doesn't do inbound licensing (the only option when dealing with non-practicing entities).
