The one thing that stuck out from this article for me was that Apple removed the application because the dispute had not been resolved after X time.
WTF?! That is all kinds of arse-backwards. If the patent dispute had not yet been resolved then you should not have removed the application, simple as that. The courts do not march to Apple's timetables.
