iPod battery compensation: $25 for you!
Monday, August 29th, 2005A Superior Court judge in San Mateo County, California, has given final approval to a settlement that will compensate iPod owners whose music players’ batteries failed to hold a charge.
A preliminary settlement was reached in May. Under the terms of the deal, buyers of first- and second-generation iPods with battery issues who bought their iPods on or before May 31, 2004 can get either a US$25 check or US$50 in credit at an Apple Computer store in the US.

Free iPod websites get shut down by Office of Fair Trading
Friday, August 26th, 2005The Office of Fair Trading has shut down the website Mobiles4All.com, which distributed “free iPods” to some participants, due to its “matrix”-type award system.
The offer was based on a matrix system meaning that consumers were added to a waiting list and would only receive their items when they reached the top of the list.
However, they could only reach the top of the list when a set number of new customers had made a purchase and signed up. Typically this was set at 30 people for each gift, but the more valuable an offer, the more people needed to join before a gift was sent out.

Music Labels Want an iPod Competitor
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005Because Apple and it’s iPod + iTunes combo control so much of the online music business, many record execs are hoping that a strong enough iPod competitor will emerge and take some market share away, according to this Reuters article. Execs would like “more flexibility on track pricing and promotions” and “to see the iPod become interoperable with music services other than iTunes” but because the iPod is so dominant in the portable music industry, they are often able to control the shots, more so than the execs would like.
Corante has a great article that discusses Apple’s dominance and how it conflicts with how music execs feel.
