With the patent being granted to Creative it pretty much leaves apple in a very vulnerable position. This will take time but will cost Apple. Funny they do the very things they bag on Microsoft for doing.

As relief, Creative is seeking an exclusion order and cease and desist order against Apple to prohibit Apple from engaging in sales, marketing, importation or sale after importation into the United States, or other infringing activities in the United States with regard to the infringing iPod and iPod Nano products.

This will take time for the legal wrangling but without a patent granted to it Apple will have serious problems.

Funny the RIM case was brought up. Creative is likely looking for a similar settlement.
