Here's an odd suggestion... We have money, they want money. They are clearly happy selling the API to microsoft and HTC, surely they would sell it to the coreplayer people. Which, of course, the Coreplayer people are not eager to buy, since most of their customers would not use it, and they believe they can reverse engineer it eventually, anyway. As such, perhaps we could find out how much Qualcomm is demanding from CorePlayer and we could raise most of the money ourselves? I'm sure Qualcomm would cut a lower-than-otherwise price to stop Coreplayer's reverse engineering.

Anyone here work in this business have an idea how many figures we are talking about?
