I was reading about this yesterday. HTC is the one that looks the worst in this deal. They paid $300 million for 50% of Beats a few years ago so they could put it on their phones. They sold their share back to Beats recently for $250 million then Beats sells to Apple for this huge amount.

I think it was Forbes that was bashing Apple over this deal saying they were paying a huge price to buy some overpriced headphones that don't really help their product that much.

Good money for Dre though...
