Lastly, I am very curious to know how much HTC's new status as the lead partner
for Windows Phone played a part in sealing these negotiations, if at all. Apple
and Microsoft have a very friendly patent relationship, and if HTC has decided
to focus on Windows Phone instead of Android it could have certainly helped wrap
things up. That's total and complete speculation on my part, but it's something
to consider.
That is an interesting question...

Quote: "An HTC spokesperson said that its licensing payments to Apple would
have “no material impact on the finances of the company”."
If we take the statement as true, then this would seem to indicate that HTC had
a much stronger hand to play than most thought possible.
Interesting...
