And, I'm pretty sure #2 is the hold-up in the negotiations, not #1. I bet Apple has a death-grip on preventing other manufacturers (esp. one as big as Nokia) from having a multi-touch experience that's comparable to the iPhone.
In this same thread earlier it was mentioned that Apple was sued for using multi-touch in their devices. So, it is not their patent.
