I suppose it would depend upon what they patented. I have no
qualms with protecting inventions. Why should Apple do all the
expensive R&D only to have Palm or some other company steal it
and by virtue of that offer a competing product for less money?
"When Tim Cook, Apple's CEO while Steve Jobs is recovering from
his health issues, was asked about competitors to the iPhone,
such as Android and the Palm Pre, Cook replied "We like
competition, as long as they don't rip off our [intellectual
property], and if they do, we're going to go after anyone who
does." "
