I'm not an IP lawyer, but according to this other post the patent at issue was filed in August 1992: http://www.lodsys.com/1/post/2011/05/q-opinion-in-several-bl...
Won't that expire in August 2012?

What a load of bullshit.
Give them the money they want and the y will have the motivation and the resources to go after small developers, not only on iOS, but also on other platforms like Android, WP7, the web. They will proliferate and more trolls will come out from under their bridge with ridiculus patents like this one, extorting us money.
I'm an iOS developer and I really hope that we, Apple, or both will find a way of squashing them (legally). Otherwise their are going tho slowly chocke innovations with their patents.
