This is all nice but, aren't there patents on some of the features visible?

  Why are you spending any of your precious energy defending expired patents for a trillion-dollar corporation?

    Because before I click the "Reserve" button I would like to know if this company has any hope in hell to actually ship a device before they are sued into oblivion. I don't like wasting money.

    They’re probably questioning the viability of a product that’s accepting preorders?

  The original iPod came out in 2001. Any patents on that have hopefully expired at least half a decade ago if not earlier.
