Apple faces iPod patent dispute

Creative may have been the first to market with a portable MP3 player, but Apple is the company that turned the sector upside down.  Creative appears to be on the cusp of launching a legal strike on Apple over the navigation system used to weed through songs on their iPod players.  :

"We will pursue all manufacturers that use the same navigation system," said Mr Sim. "This is something we will pursue aggressively.

"Hopefully this will be friendly, but people have to respect intellectual property."
