The Wall Street Journal sums up what this is pretty much all about: Apple could find it easier to defend its market position and LOFTY profit margins, while consumers may see a bit LESS choice and HIGHER prices—as fewer competitors court buyers with me-too models and pass along costs of damage awards in price their products.

Compare the iPhone and the Galaxy S III. The iPhone looks and feels clunky compared to the Galaxy S III. I don't own either phone.

One of the patent infringements was on-screen icons? This is insane. Absolutely insane.
