Creative Loses Missing Gigabyte Suit
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Creative has lost a recent legal battle. It seems that the company reported that their MP3 player held more than it actually did. Their premise was that 1GB was one billion bytes 1,000,000,000B rather than the 1,073,741,824B it should be. The company finally discovered the error and corrected it after 2004, but if you bought one before then, you can probably make a minor sum off Creative. Choose between $35.00 off on a new Zen Stone or a 20% discount on your next purchase.
