RE:RE:RE:Big deal / will Apple buy Wilan ? I disagree, but for the same reason you mentioned below... Apple wants to save face... let's face it their products are no longer revolutionary and so any bad publicity is going to negatively affect their $3T evaluation... I think it makes the most strategically sense to buy up the patent holder to your future products!

its all about face for Apple and that face it that they will not take kindly to patent holders that bring on lawsuits.
They dont care about the cost.
