No, I'm not kidding. Sony really has just patented a tablet called the "EyePad" and I’m sure if Sony ever makes the EyePad, Apple will be totally fine with it.

In fairness to Sony, it has had a long tradition of “Eye”-related products. The EyeToy and PlayStation Eye for example, but it’s latest crazy looking Eye is a tablet, with gaming controls, cameras, and light-up edges.

Apple will definitely be fine with it if 'EyePad' is the final name. They don't have a choice, because they won't be able to do anything about it. Sue Sony (with rights to Ericsson patents)? I don't think so. They already pay royalty to Nokia. They don't want to be forced to do the same to Sony.
