Apple Reveals British Guy Invented the iPod

Apple Reveals British Guy Invented the iPod

Apple has finally admitted a Briton, Kane Kramer, invented the iPod. Kramer sketched out an undeveloped media player back in 1979 which was only capable of 3.5 minutes of music, called the IXI.  Due to financial hurdles, Kramer couldn't renew the device's patent. so it entered the public domain in 1988. Apple then used the concept to bail them out of the Burst.com lawsuit.
Apple convinced Kramer to stand before the court and contradict Bust's legal team who claimed that the intellectual property of four patents they held was used by Apple without payment or agreement.  Kramer received a compensation from Apple for his time at the trial and is now negotiating an additional compensation.
