I think most of those patents actually concern hardware.

  Proof please ?

    From the press release: The ten patents in suit relate to technologies fundamental to making devices which are compatible with one or more of the GSM, UMTS (3G WCDMA) and wireless LAN standards. The patents cover wireless data, speech coding, security and encryption and are infringed by all Apple iPhone models shipped since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. -- So these are likely to be more hardware related. That doesn't make the claims any more valid, but I don't think that these will have many (any?) software claims.

      All of those are software related. The only hardware parts are cpus, radios and interfaces.

        I'm pretty sure several of those patents covering "GSM, UMTS (3G WCDMA) and wireless LAN standards" refer to actual hardware.

          Standards exist to ensure interoperability. In software you can't even copyright an interface, let alone that you should be able to get a patent on an element that is a standard of communications. It is, pardon the pun, patent nonsense.
