Sorry if there's already a topic on this, I searched but I didn't find any directly based on it. Read the article here: CLICK, and tell me what you think.
And to clarify, the question of this topic is did Apple steal Creative's idea for the iPod? |

Um, I like my iPod a lot better than my mom's Creative (which is practically mine too, since she has no idea how to use it).

Meh, old news, Apple already paid licensing fees to Creative.
Not that it makes sense. Apple's interface is vastly different from that of Creative's, and is similar only in the hierarchical nature of the menus. It's a travesty that under US patent law, such a vague idea can even be patented. |
