I think the publishers got exactly what they wanted from their deal with Apple. My guess is they're not even that unhappy with the results of the court decision. They're now back to agency pricing.
I think their goal wasn't high prices for ebooks but to make ebooks less attractive than print books, which are more profitable.
If that's true then this latest move is right in line. When a book comes out people who want it right away will be more likely to buy the print version.
