Not really though, when the Palm CEO comes out and says Jobs told him if he didn't agree to do it they'd attack Palm with patent lawsuits.

I don't understand why the Palm CEO didn't just say "Fine. We'll tell everyone why you're doing that."

Seems to me the downside to Apple of having their illegal collusion exposed would have had to be far greater than the cost of the engineers Palm could have hired away.
