As long as you`re calling it ``wild`` speculation, another thought about tapping into portalplayer`s patent portfolio would certainly be an amazing development. After all, remember portalplayer on EDIG`s partner list way back when, long before the ipod existed?

Super long shot, but that would be the mother of all infringments...won`t hold my breath though.

I am glad to see that EDIG, via its sister companies, has access to the channels to enforce its patents. At least we know they know how to protect and enforce the IP.
