What a surprise: Engadget paranoid that everyone other than Apple has a problem with America and the fruit phone the only option for patriotic Americans. That site is such a waste of disk space it's unreal!

nokia has been making phones a long time, I'm sure they have lots of strong patents. Palm having made pda's and created the smartphone market have to be holding on to some juicy patents as well. Not to mention apple completely back down from trying to sue palm after the pre was revealed.

Between the 2 of them they would be fairly untouchable by apple and it would allow Nokia to take advantage of the lawsuit and challenge some of the more ridiculous apple patents that should have never been granted.

Palm most certainly didn't create smarphone market. Both Nokia and Ericsson were making smartphones several years before Palm.

Whatever value their patents otherwise have is intresting question, but Palm's market cap is still too big just to be bought just for the sake of this trial.
