The Engadget article proposes the Nokia most likely picked the strongest ten patents they have... ones that can't be dismissed as not essential to the iPhone. Makes sense.
As I've said before, if Apple doesn't think one or more is valid, they could've paid for just the ones they thought were okay, and disputed the rest. Nokia offered both per-patent terms and total portfolio terms. So Apple apparently thinks none of them should be paid for.
What I'd like to know is, what is Apple paying Ericsson for? Is it possible that Apple thought paying one member of the GSM consortium was enough?
We're all basically waiting to hear Apple's side.
