I think people are forgetting that the basis of innovation is copy+transform+combine. Very rarely are ideas completely new. Most ideas start off as a new application of an old idea, etc. Incremental innovation has been responsible for a lot of good over the years, that applies to the current situation with the cell phone wars. The current patent system isn't really taking this into account.
