Palm hit by game patent lawsuit
Posted by Steven Wu on Tuesday, April 01 @ 11:33:46 EST Patent
From PalmInfocenter:
A company called Peer-to-Peer Systems LLC has filed suit against Palm Inc. The Complaint alleges that the use of Palm handhelds and clone PDAs to play multiple player games wirelessly and interactively on two or more such devices directly infringes Peer-to-Peer's U.S. Patent relating to methods for playing interactive, multiple player computer games on ad hoc, wireless local area networks.
See the patent here. Does Nokia know about this? (Not to mention Sega?)

We used to play network games on our HP48 calculators back in 1992 or so. We even made our own game which looked somewhat like Battleship.
