They should've gathered the whole OHA alliance around and get them to make a pool. Just getting Apple alone in the bid would've meant a very high chance they lost the bid, because Apple could've outbid them if they really wanted the patents. But of course it got even worse, with all the others joining up with Apple to take them. They really didn't expect this to happen? I'm a bit disappointed in Google for not thinking this through, if they really wanted to get them to protect the whole Android ecosystem. EDIT: I also think Microsoft is focusing too much on making money on patents, rather than from their own product. Are they going to buy as many patents as possible that later they can use to act as a leech on Android ecosystem? That's a pretty perverse business model, and it doesn't make them look any better than Righthaven.
