   looking at production lines in general i'd say 15 hours work is more then just a couple of $200 iPods. More like 30-50.

   $$$...Companies do nothing and make lots of money, while you make no money and have to pay a fortune for what they sell you.

   Like it or not, Apple is still going to get the bad press if such rumors are true.

I don't understand why there is confusion or even a question. The conditions exist and are like that all over China. Chinese law is pretty clear. About $200 a month for a 50hr week. Workers are shipped to where the factory (if necessary) is and often live at the factory. This is not new and no investigation is required. China doesn't deny it at all and frankly American's (the world really) don't care as long as long as they save 10%
