Lawyers for Apple must be among the busiest in the business, after Microsoft's lawyers.

I have a Creative 5gb player. It works fine. Not as pretty as an ipod...cheaper.

Turnabout is fair play.

Phil O'Shaughnessy, a spokesman for Creative, said. "At no time during these discussions or at any other time did Apple mention to us the patents it raised in its lawsuit."

Somebody needs to send a load of cheese to Creative, to go along with all that...oh never mind, that's too easy.

It probably would have been a good idea for Creative to have done a little research before hand. It's not like these patents are hard to find - not a week goes by that some Apple rumor site doesn't plaster an Apple patent across its front page.

I've always thought the iPod's interface was based on Finder, because it behaved exactly like it (at least if you were controlling Finder with a click-wheel).
