this is ridiculous patent award and i disagree with pc worlds

"More likely, though, Apple and other companies will deal with the new patent out-of-court by essentially licensing the technology--every company that wants to use a setup like the iPhone and iPad would pay Apple a cash sum to lease the rights."

Those companies are going to go to court in lockstep against this patent. along with other companies who are actually in the business of creating multi-touch enabled resistive and capacitive displays.
apple did not create resistive or capacitive touch displays . apple did not create multitouch displays, apple was not the first with a multitouch UI and yet we're expected to believe the patent would stand in court and every one will just take out their check books and start paying Apple?
