And whose fault is that? I think is both sides. The patent troll for obvious reasons but also Apple (or Steve Jobs) for announcing something that they cannot achieve.

That is why people have a hard time believing any Open Source promises made by Apple. And yes I know they have some open source projects available right now.

By your logic, anyone who ever runs into trouble with a patent troll should never be trusted again. Clearly this is absurd.

No, anyone who promises things he cannot fulfill may have his trust in doubt. It doesn't matter if the problem was internal or external.

What would you think if Apple went to announce next Wednesday that the new iPhone will have a sapphire screen, but on launch (after a bunch of people preoder the phone) they announce it's normal glass because a provider couldn't deliver.

Whose fault would that be, the provider's? Apple's? Both?
