US Trade Commission Bans Import of Motorola's Popular Droid And Blur Smartphones To The United States

The US International Trade Commission has ruled that Motorola can not import it's popular Droid and Blur smartphones that use the Android operating system, siding with Microsoft who accused Motorola Mobility of violating patents.

The ruling covers 18 Motorola devices in all, and must now either pay Microsoft 33 cents for each device or stop all imports within 60 days. The only other remedy is for Motorola to alter the software used on the smartphone.
