> I've always had the impression that Apple would be more willing to burn the entire mobile market to the ground rather than give up the lawsuits to try to slow Android's momentum.

I see this too and it seems totally insane to me, there is no good outcome that can come of these lawsuits. I was hoping that when Steve Jobs passed the new CEO would stop the madness but that isn't happening.

At some point all these suits will close and the results going to be the banning of nearly every consumer tablet and phone. When the iPhone and iPad get pulled off the shelves and Apple revenue falls by 95% they will change tune. But it's unfortunate they can't see that coming. Like you, I'd hoped Cook would have made that his first action after Jobs died but he doesn't seem to have the cojones to stop something Jobs started.

Maybe that's MS's grand plan, as they've went around licensing all the patents maybe it's their intention to be the only devices still on the shelves.
