It appears that Psion has accepted the fact that Netbook has become a generic term and is dropping their claim, but whether that is due to settlement or because Psion’s legal team realized that the court costs for the first round alone would be more then the company is still worth is anybody’s guess.

I suspect Intel has more lawyers than Psion has total employees and loses more money through the holes in its pockets, so to speak, than Psoin would have wanted for a settlement.

Psion should have protested sooner; they were probably waiting for Intel to get into it too deeply to turn back and to adequately incriminate themselves.
But, still, if someone steals my car, do they get to keep it if I don't demonstrate that I resisted strongly enough?

Also we have now exposed ourselves to scrutiny by bigger shark about our niche business of selling handheld computer for warehouse work.
