Kane Kramer Is The Father Of iPod, Not Anyone From Apple
I believe many did not know about this. Many would think that, maybe Steve Jobs is the father of iPod, or Tony Fadell, or Jonathan Ive. But truth is Apple has used the technology, idea by Kane Kramer 30 years ago. Yes, iPod was based on an 30-year-old idea. The saddest thing is, Kane Kramer did not get anything from his idea! This is sad. I think, if it is not for the court case between Apple and Burst.com (Apple needs Kane to testify for them), we may never know!
Apple admit Briton DID invent iPod, but he’s still not getting any money

Uhm, what that guy did was make this sketch “http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/09/07/article-1053152-0458092D0000044D-858_468x514.jpg”. that’s his invention. he did not invent (nor, apparently, understand) audio compression, hardware design or firmware programming. it’s just a goddamn doodle of a UI!
in any case, the ipod is neither the first nor the best digital audio player (it is not even the first one with an actual HD inside; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Jukebox) – which also speaks of kramer’s ignorance. pathetic, if you ask me.
whatever,
thank you for the info
