InterDigital, a wireless technology firm better known around these parts for its imbroglios with
Samsung and
Nokia than any specific technological contributions, has apparently penned a seven year licensing deal with Apple, said to be worth some $56 million. Not that there was any doubt about Apple eventually releasing a 3G iPhone, but one analyst noted that "the deal covers various 2G and 3G cellular technologies", which is always an encouraging thing to hear. Of course, it's still anyone's guess as to when that device might appear on the scene, but after this week's price drop, we think Apple might not be rushing to something else that might arouse the ire of its first adopter crowd.

Jobs caring about his first adopter crowd? Remember the Apple II? Remember the PowerPC Macs?
Jobs loves to drop anybody like a rock when it suits him and business. He earned his Sony crown.
