o Apple Pays Creative $100 Million
to Settle MP3 Player Patent Dispute
Cupertino, Calif. - Apple and rival MP3 player maker
Creative Technology announced that they have settled all outstanding
patent litigation between the companies, with Apple agreeing to pay
Creative $100 million. Singapore-based Creative, which has U.S.
operations in Milpitas, Calif., sued Apple in June, alleging the
company's iPods used patented song navigation technology found on
Creative's Zen line of MP3 players. Creative also filed a complaint
with the U.S. International Trade Commission, asking for an
injunction against the import of Apple's iPods from their Asian
manufacturing plants into the U.S. The settlement, which halts
Creative's patent suits against Apple, Apple's countersuits and the
ITC complaint, includes a license for Apple to use Creative's
patented technologies in all Apple products. Creative also joins
Apple's "Made for iPod" program and plans to release a line of
accessories later this year. "Creative is very fortunate to have
been granted this early patent," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "This
settlement resolves all of our differences with Creative, including
the five lawsuits currently pending between the companies, and
removes the uncertainty and distraction of prolonged litigation."

o Apple
Recalls 1.8 Million Notebook Batteries
Cupertino, Calif. - Just a week after Dell's major recall
of notebook computer batteries,
Apple on Thursday followed suit, announcing plans to recalls 1.8
million lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Sony. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission said that the batteries, used in 12-inch
iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and 15-inch PowerBook G4 models, can
"overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers." The commission said
that Apple has received nine reports of batteries overheating,
including two reports of minor burns from handling overheated
computers. No serious injuries were reported. About 1.1 million of
the batteries were in notebooks sold in the U.S., with the other
700,000 sold abroad. Just last week, Dell recalled 4.1 million of
its lithium-ion batteries.
