Engadget has done a pretty unbiased article on this patent issue. Seems Apple has infringed on more of Palms patents than the other way around.

Palm is an also ran and will remain so. Their new phone is awkward and bulky and will not help them in the long run as it adds nothing new or innovative to the market, and yet another OS that is way behind in market development. Further, to say that the iPhone is "old and outdated" - really???? It is the most user-friendly, elegant and updatable hand held computing device in the world. Get real!

However even if the patent stands it seems like it could be worked around by simply changing any identical gestures to something different, possibly improving on the idea and coming up with something better.
