   $100 million is a lot of money and I can see Apple appealing this decision, unless of course they know Creative has good patent coverage and they are better off settling at this point. Actually this is kind of a settlement although Apple is likely not happy about cashing out that kind of money.

   It isn't a kind of settlement, it's an actual settlement. I myself was curious to see if all the prior-art that Apples owns for such hierarchical menus on Apple software would've helped them brush off Creative's attack.When will the US patent system get a makeover ?
