You may not know InterDigital’s products as they are more known for their patent portfolio. Hack, they’ve even clashed with Nokia who apparently used some of InterDigital’s technology in the N75.
Now we have Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) signing the seven-year licensing deal with InterDigital, presumable to get all the needed patents for the 3G iPhone. According to one analyst, the $56 million worth deal covers “various 2G and 3G cellular technologies”, which we see as a proof that the 3G iPhone is coming sooner than you think. Especially now, after the $200 price drop. Can’t wait…
