The only lawyer I've seen writing about the case is The Passive Voice blog. This post is probably the most relevant. He's stated in other blog posts that Apple made a mistake in not settling out of court, and "... this was a truly stupid mistake on the part of the participants in the price-fixing scheme, something any competent CEO should have identified as an obvious blunder."

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has seen a lawyer take the opposite view.
