What choice did they have when a court said you can't do that?

  > What choice did they have when a court said you can't do that? Easy. Not say they are going to do something unless they know they can do it. Better yet: announce it when you can do it.

    And in what crystal ball do you expect them to check for possible lawsuits?

      The one they used when they didn't make FaceTime an open standard from the get go. Clearly they knew they couldn't make it an open standard when they announced they intended to, but they still made the promise. This isn't unique to Apple, but it's stupid to ignore reality. At the end of the day, they haven't release Swift. Banking on it now is, without a doubt, a foolish gamble.
