Qualcomm is huge in the cellular industry. A lot of people wouldn't recognize the name but if you look at your phone (a Sprint one, at least) you'll probably see a "3G by Qualcomm" (or something to that effect) sticker on the back. Qualcomm makes the chips that make millions of cell phones do their thing. They also hold the patents on other chips that make other cell phones do their thing. Nokia's phones, for instance.

From Reuters
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Cellphone maker Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Sunday its agreement in a U.S. court in Delaware with Qualcomm was unlikely to solve the major legal battle over patent fees between the two technology heavyweights.In 2007 Nokia's handset profit was $5.434 Billion. While that's an impressive number, it isn't like they can just shrug off $500 Million. The courts are going to decide if Qualcomm's patent policy is illegal, as alleged by Nokia. If so, Nokia may get the price cut it's looking for and get to pay less than half a billion dollars per year in licensing fees and (hopefully) be able to use those savings to cut prices.
...The companies have been at legal loggerheads since they failed to renew a part of their 2001 technology licensing pact that expired last April. Analysts have estimated Nokia pays around $500 million to Qualcomm annually for patents and wants to cut the sum.
Qualcomm's head of European operations, Andrew Gilbert, told Reuters in an interview earlier this month, the company did not see smaller payment as an option.
"We want them to pay what they should be paying ... as soon as possible," Gilbert said in an interview at Mobile World Congress trade show.

I wish more people would write blogs like this that are really fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like this instead.
Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
Great post, thanks. Do you have a RSS feed?
SMV hotline have been in busy tone for the last hour... crazy.
But I don't see Apple purposely making a product that directly competes with their iPhone and iPod cash cows.
The iPad's size while svelt, won't exactly fit in your pocket.
Nice read but what about the facts
I'd recommend this because it's actually readable. Unusual -- sad but true.
You actually raise the right points, sadly I'm sure your personal analysis is actually off base, great write though, congratulations are in order. Cath
