Today another Mac site made a big deal about a patent that Apple had to acquire because of a lawsuit between PhatRat and Apple back in 2006. It's not that Apple couldn't create a line of next generation sportswear down the road, because they could if the patent being hailed today was actually something that Team Apple actually filed for. But they didn't. They acquired it so that they could keep Nike + iPod alive. Plain and simple, end of story – with no "secret" anything happening at Apple.
