I don't think Apple usually buys into big companies. They will buy smaller companies to build new products.

Also, Apple has a history of screwing their partners. Dealing with them is like dealing with the devil. Look at what they did to Motorola.

What DID they do to motorola?  Just curious.

Before the iPhone, Apple partnered with Motorola to create a new phone. Through that partnership, they built a teriible phone together called the Rokr that used iTunes. However, while they were designing the Rokr, Apple took all that expertise provided by Motorola and used it to create the iPhone behind Motorola's back. Then one day Apple said we're outta here, and shortly thereafter announced the iPhone.

You know, that story is a tad too simillar to something that our little friend uncle Bill pulled, isn't it?

 

Thinking about OS/2?
