Push Email Suspended On iPhones In Germany

[wraggster]

Apple has been forced to disable push e-mail delivery for iCloud and MobileMe users in Germany (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/02/motorola-enforces-german-injunction-against-icloud-push-e-mail.ars) this week. The move is thanks to a recent injunction awarded to Motorola as part of the ongoing patent dispute between the two smartphone makers.... The patent at issue relates to older pager designs, but Motorola was able to convince a German court that it applied to Apple's implementation of push e-mail that syncs across devices via iCloud. The injunction went into effect on Thursday of this week, requiring Apple to disable push e-mail syncing in Germany."
