RE:RE:RE:RE:Big deal / will Apple buy Wilan ?Perhaps, i just think if they do buy Wilan it will be hidden behind some sort of private equity somehow and the market would not be the wiser.

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.
