Apple
didn't cite a patent. They rejected it because it did something useful which Apple are saying nobody but they can use on their device. Because, you know, can't have
good apps now (hint: sarcasm). And again, even if they did, they could easily just licence it!

I was under the impression that if you were claiming a patent you also had to actively protect that patent or you could end up losing it? thats what I meant by saying Apple 'had' to say know to it as if they approved it then they are saying yes others can use it?

From
unlicensed use. You can licence it to people, especially iDevice devs who have already signed a dev agreement!
Lemurion - Exactly. I'm perfectly entitled to hammer them for it!
