I likely would still be using my Kindle 3 Keyboard, except my dog got hold of it at one point.
I still think that was the best form factor they've ever offered.

Patents cost money to draft and file. Unless the company has inside patent counsel or patent agent, they will need to pay outside counsel to draft it and answer through the examination. I had one proposal rejected by inside counsel because "we don't do phase locked loop patents".
One set of motivations for patents of broad scope, is to stake a claim for possible future use, to have something to trade around standards bodies, or to offer as value to settle infringement actions against some other patent.
