No products no factories no nothing!! China just can blackmail Apple and with compliant judges Apple loses.Apple needs many different suppliers in many countries OR have their own factories!

Apple via FoxConn provides 100,000 jobs in a growth-above-all economy, while Proview provides, what again? Also the Chinese powers that be would surely rather a domestic company create a cheap legit iPad competitor than simply steal the name outright and reinforce the stereotype about Chinese copying everything. The Proview Taiwan vs Proview China jurisdiction is probably the biggest thorn, since the Chinese would never relent on anything Taiwan-related. But I agree with above posters that a billion or more is too much to pay when you have true brand power. Apple can call it the iTampon and it will still outsell whatever Proview/Lenovo/BrandX comes up with. The fact that the "iPad" will be a Chinese rip-off will turn off Chinese consumers more than anything. Beneath their nationalism is a consumerism that fetishizes the foreign.

I wouldn't think it would be the end of the world to call it the iTablet or whatever in a billion consumer-plus market. Is the name worth a billion dollars when you could spend a billion creating Chinese brand awareness for the iTablet (or whatever)?
