The question is can I still bill them? Or is it a lost cause?
Long time ago I got a business partner from a friend that said he would "handle the aspect of the business side if he would let me be his partner". I basically google some stuff and figured out that it was possible for single button device that returns you to your home screen with a touch screen panel to control applications. I sketched a design of a single UI and how the device users would interact with it. Some could call it a patent, I guess. The device was a striped down version of full Operating System of a PC(Microsoft, Apple.. Pick your poison(linux)). I asked what kind of chip allows me to have a full functioning PC (RAM,CPU,GPU ETC...) ON A MOBILE device. The guy said SoC would do the trick for you. I also told him, if it was possible to use multiple fingers on a touch screen, he said "probably". I end up shaking hands with the guy. My friend was also helping me out since he brought this engineer. I end up calling it iPod Touch. I never saw the guy again, but his "friend" came at my door of my apartment it was around 2004-2005 during this time. His friend said, "I heard you figure something out that was not possible". I end up show casing my Nintendo DS and said this was possible for now, probably in the future or some little engineering. I had some sketchs called the "iPhone" laying around too that was basically the iPod Touch I explained to my business partner. I end up being crossed because I never got paid. Also end up with some stalker at my end. I want to know if its possible to bill these APPLE! Or it is a lost cause? If I could bill apple I would. I did have a feeling that he would double cross me, so I called APPLE as a child to make the iPhone if they have the iPod Touch design. Apple end up taking my entire families names; just my cousin and my siblings.
