I am still convinced that there is no way that Apple lets Google get a hold of IDCC.
I believe that Apple would be interested in purchasing IDCC, if only, to keep IDCC IP out of the hands of Google.(and others). I also believe that of all the companies that we have heard about (via rumors) Apple really hasn't been prevalent. Apple knows how to play this game.
Either the shareprice starts to show interest soon and rumors start flying or the transaction will be done soon - imo.
