Eh, Apple's multi-touch patent is so questionable that any company that can afford a litigation battle can blow it away (Google, Microsoft, Nokia, RIM, etc..) if it came down to it.

Nokia did the same while it was warring with Qualcomm over royalties. ;)

Hey, this is Nokia who would probably have paid royalties for Ogg if they could have found a way to do so.

FYI, ideas are not patentable (at least under US law).

What's the latest on those? Last I heard, business method patents were going to be invalidated (or no longer issued... or something like that).

At the present time, some business method patents are valid. We'll know for sure whenever the Supreme Court gets around to releasing its opinion on Bilski.
