Apple has finally admitted that a British man who left school at 15 is the inventor behind the iPod.
But in 1988, after a boardroom split, he was unable to raise the £60,000 needed to renew patents across 120 countries and the technology became public property.
Eu cá gosto muito deste comentário que está lá no site:
This is ridiculous. The only thing Apple admitted was that it was influenced by the user interface of this device. Notice how the article mentions that this man's device was capable of 3.5 SECONDS of audio playback? That's because none of the necessary technology -- D/A conversion, miniature hard drives, data compression, truly portable LCDs, etc. -- didn't exist.
Do you want to be an "inventor" like this guy? It's simple. Get yourself some graph paper and some crayson and sketch out a weightless, holographic audio player that's controlled telepathically. And when such a device is actually created in the year 2090, feel free to claim credit for it.

Leitores de mp3 como o iPod já havia bastantes quando este surgiu
Too bad.
Já agora, para quem não sabe o lema do Steve sempre foi "Good artists copy, Great artists steal."

Essa frase é na verdade do Picasso.
É parecido sim. Aparentemente nem a própria Creative acreditou nesse design
