But the problem is that cloners weren't expanding the market any, they were 
just taking sales away from Apple. It's hard to want to put R&D into something
and license it out and have people hurt your profits while making their own
and paying a pittance in license fees.

It's neither here nor there for me since I wouldn't consider buying a clone.
None of them have the fit and finish nor the quality of the real thing.
