Who knows what technology they developed before Apple came along and what was developed during for the Ipod? Who knows what their contract says about ownership and license rights? One thing is clear though. PortalPlayer was involved (as was Bantam Interactive) with the Samsung/Napster device to some extent. Did they use any technology that was developed specifically for Apple? The screen shot is one of many within the indicated folder installed from a download of the Samsung/Napster device web page. Maybe you should call PortalPlayer and ask them if they are being "unethical."
