That is still irrelevant. Patents are not about code, but
about the method. A
method can be implemented in whichever
programming language you wish, and
typically be compiled
down to be used on whichever device you want. The only
thing
that could theoretically make this untrue for this
particular case, is
if e.g the patent refers to doing
something with a touch screen, and the prior
art does the
same but with a keyboard.
However, according to a
reference I saw (from this Bloomberg video), he
said "the
software on the Apple device could not be placed
on the processor of the other
device and that means they are
not interchangeable." Even if this is true if
looking at
this statement in isolation, it is totally irrelevant to the
patent
that could be implement in Java for use on Android
and in Obj-C for use on the
iPhone. Some tool chains, like
Mono Develop even lets you write once, compile
for many
systems (including both Android and iOs).
So if he rejected
prior art, or made any other decision
based on that, then he would, even if
being correct, have a
wrong and irrelevant basis for his
decision.
Seems to be futher damning evidence to me.
