Apple to settle lawsuits

<A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060823/ap_on_hi_te/creative_apple">Apple Computer will pay $100 million</A> to rival Creative Technology to settle patent lawsuits over technology for navigating through songs on the popular iPod digital music player. In June, the U.S. International Trade Commission agreed to investigate whether Apple's iPod infringes on one of Creative's patents. Singapore-based Creative filed the ITC complaint and a federal lawsuit, alleging that iPods infringed on its patent for a navigation system used to organize and access music on its Zen media players.
