Even if Apple stops selling Bluetooth today, they have (allegedly) past infringement they'll have to pay for.
Except they arent....
Aiden, try to make a thought out comment. You're trying less and less every day.
Except for those who use an Apple wireless keyboard or mouse.
And those who connect their iPhones with their car stereos, hands free systems and bluetooth speakers or headphones.

Didn't wireless-USB just finish it's long development process? Apple could switch to that. Though, they should be sure they're properly licensing it, first.
And that license will have Nokia's name written all over it.
From the facts shown this is something where it looks like Nokia are in the right and Apple are in the wrong. If Apple REALLY think and can, more importantly prove, that the 10 infringements Nokia have brought up are not essential to the Mac, iTouch and iPhone then kudos to their law and research and dev department.
But I don't think they can get out of this one
That would be analogous to coaxing a horse to walk down stairs - it ain't gonna happen.
Saying it multiple times doesn't make it true. Nokia asked for 3 times what was asked the previous year. At no point do Apple say that that was 3 times what 'everyone else' was paying.
Apple didn't think the F/RAND terms in Spring 2008 were fair and neither did they think paying 3 times that amount was fair either. At this point we've no idea if what they were asked to pay is what 'everyone else' pays.
Hey, thanks for ruining a great discussion thread of fanboi cries and troll posts with your insightful and informative post.
Pardon the error, which would be giving him more credit than he deserves.

Fine, if so.. Why did Steve Jobs claim it a revolutionary device that would change the industry? As it sure did and most agree.
Where were these Nokia phones, and multi-touch, and pinch-and-zoom?
Where's and why wasn't this "lawsuit" mostly talked about?
Where is this Apple failure at?
Where is the evidence?!& proof.
Or did you just read another one of those lousy web blogs where it claims Apple copy-catted technology?
yeah. And without Apple we would still have mobiles like those from Nokia just a few years ago. I think Nokia has got what they deserve.
Pioneers ... maybe. They were good a long time ago, but meanwhile using their mobiles is a neverending source of frustration and despair.

Remember, all glory is fleeting. Something, somewhere, will derail the Apple train, and you don't want to be trapped on it with your first class ticket.
It has been talked about.
Apple and AT&T settled the case with Klausner and agreed to license their patents relating to Visual Voicemail with the iPhone.
The same could be said for Nokia - a company which has seen its profits derail for most of the year, and decided that now, it wants a healthier slice of the Apple pie.
You really do sound like a brainless fanboy
Isn't clear to you that this isn't about money, Nokia could have set a price per iPhone to charge Apple, instead they said they will let the courts decide the amount to be paid. Nokia still operate at a 20+ BILLION revenue in comparison to Apple, who are in a lot more markets than Nokia
If you can't see thefacts of this discussion you shouldn't even be involved
Certainly, the same can be said. But Apple will become a cropper in the same way eventually.
However, they did say that the initial offer from nokia was in excess of what everyone else was paying under the F/RAND deal:
The only one brainless here is you.
Did you mean to state: "Isn't it clear to you that this isn't about money?"
If not, then WTF else would it be about?
Nokia Wants A Piece of Apple's Pie
Nokia's profits were down 90% in Q1 and down 66% in Q2 - this seemed rather significant to them, as did their dismal projections.
Before you go spouting off like a brainless fairy, do a little research, and use some common sense.
