A 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.
