Patent?

[Stuart Gray]

I was just watching the apple iPhone keynote.  And when Steve Jobs is describing the phone touchscreen interface, he says they have patented it.  What does this mean about the OpenMoko phone?  I am not overly knowledgable about patent protection, so it may be a silly question.  But doesn't the fact that they have the mobile phone touchscreen interface patented mean that you cannot realease the OpenMoko as it is infringing on it?
