I get what you're saying, but this is Apple here. They have more than enough money to do both. I personally don't own an Apple product yet, but I can't help but admire their innovation/refineness of their products. Certainly Jobs stole ideas and refined them, but at the same time, companies like Google poach engineers from Apple all the time and vice versa. Don't you think some ideas are "stolen" from these same guys?
Anyway, I'm sure many of the ideas you and I think about coming up with have already been thought of 10X over. I still stand by my statements that Apple is doing what's in their best interest by standing by these lawsuits - frivolous or not. I agree that they have to continue to innovate, but their innovation is done as you said, by taking others ideas and making it work well for them. Every manufacturer is starting to do that now, and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just the way the competition has progressed.
