I really hope that this is one of those legal manoeuvrer that some lawyer said was necessary but never actually gets used...because if Apple is allowed to sue every other company that creates anything that has the same basic shape as an iPod, it will do nothing more than stifle innovation
This is one of the reasons why I hate Apple - they pull this kind of BS move that has nothing to do with making things better for consumers, and is solely focused on killing off companies that are trying to compete in the market.
