Beats co-founders lose $25 million royalty lawsuit
The long-running feud between Beats and claimed co-founder Steven Lamar appears to be winding to a close. A jury has told Beats luminaries Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine to pay Lamar $25.2 million in royalties for breaching a contract. Lamar contended that he played a key role at the company and deserved $130 million for working on a dozen headphones. Beats recognized Lamar's early involvement, but insisted that he was only supposed to get money for the original Beats Studio (which, of course, had already been paid).
Jibe Audio's Sound Machine iPhone dock -- designed by Apple alumni
Have you heard of Jibe Audio? No worries, the San Francisco based company doesn't have any product... yet. That will change at CES with this, the Sound Machine iPhone docking station. Designed in part by Robert Brunner who led Apple's design team from 1989-1996, an era which birthed the Newton and the first Powerbooks. The Sound Machine is said to support Bluetooth audio, iPhone synchronization over USB, and unspecified audio input for other audio sources. If this is the same device first mentioned as the "iPhone Station" back in October, then it will also feature DVD playback and streaming internet radio. We'll find out soon enough. CES is only a few weeks away. [Via Gizmos]Read -- Brunner's iPhone Station Read -- Jibe Audio
