    If this goes through, and Apple gets $22 per tablet, at what point does it stop? 10", 7", 5"?? At what point does a device stop being a phone and become a tablet? Will all rectangular devices suddenly become a target for this bunch of tossers?

    Maybe someone needs to remind Apple and the American legal and patent systems that a tablet is so-called, not because someone thought it was a great name, but, because the design was a natural evolution of the tablet shape that has been used by numerous civilizations throughout history.

    Apple did not invent the rectangle. They did not invent the tablet computer. They did not invent round corners.

    They did not invent.

    Apple's logic is that they only owe .5 cents because the offending item is the baseband chip, and should only pay for the profit of this item. If that's the case, with Android being free and open source then Apple is due no royalty or fees because of the 0% profit that would have been gained of a graphical design.
