Forgive my ignorance but what is so special about Kinect technology - I am not dissing the device.

It's just that it is only a freaking camera with software.

OK, I know originally that there was a chip embedded in the unit that was removed but for a company like Apple that now produces it's own processors, chips and OS why won't they simply develope their own motion sensing system.

Where would the patents conflict? I don't get it.
