His Singapore-based Creative Technology (CREAF) produces digital music and media players that in a straight, feature-by-feature comparison are arguably better than the iPod.
Creative filed the previous May. What's more, while the final patent was awarded in August, 2005, Creative claims it first started using the interface method on its Nomad hard-drive-based players in September, 2000, nearly a year before the release of Apple's first iPod in October, 2001.
