Apple Suspends Push Email for iOS Users in Germany

Apple has suspended the iCloud and MobileMe push email feature for iOS users in Germany due to an injunction won by Motorola.

-
Due to recent patent litigation by Motorola Mobility, iCloud and MobileMe users are currently unable to have iCloud and MobileMe email pushed to their iOS devices while located within the borders of Germany.

Affected customers will still receive iCloud and MobileMe email, but new messages will be downloaded to their devices when the Mail app is opened, or when their device periodically fetches new messages as configured in iOS Settings. Push email service on desktop computers, laptop computers, and the web is unaffected, as is service from other providers such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.


Apple believes Motorola's patent is invalid and is appealing the decision.
