"We're very pleased to have reached an amicable settlement with Apple and to have opened up significant new opportunities for Creative," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. "Apple has built a huge ecosystem for its iPod and with our upcoming participation in the Made for iPod program we are very excited about this new market opportunity for our speaker systems, our just-introduced line of earphones and headphones, and our future family of X- Fi audio enhancement products. ----------- The pervasiveness of doPi is scary; a company making competitor players has no trouble 'branching out' to support a competitor's product. Amazing.
The business world is ruthless. I also don't understand "Apple can recoup a portion of its payment if Creative is successful in licensing this patent to others."
But then again, that's why I don't do business. Seems like an odd agreement to me.
