"I almost choked on my supper when I read that APPLE bought an MMP"

I really didn't hear that being confirmed. Cliff and Leckrone kept saying they wouldn't discuss a specific company (including ARM, Google/Motorola etc).

There were several questions re Apple, trying to 'break' silence but I didn't get anything definitive.

On the other hand, I'd probably bet that they (Apple) are one of the "4 or 5" companies who insisted on absolute confidentiality (i.e. no publication of name or amount paid).

Both Leckrone and Cliff agree there are "over 90" licenses but "4 or 5" haven't been disclosed".
