I'm certainly disappointed in Apple's use of the patent system here, but we need to fix the patent system as a whole. Apple wouldn't have acted this way unless our patent system created the opportunity and the incentive. And if it wasn't Apple, it would have been someone else sooner or later.
So you can be mad at Apple if you want, but what's really messed up is a patent system that makes this behavior profitable.
