Apple has finally acknowledged that the iPod was in fact invented by someone else other than them. As part of their defense against a patent lawsuit, the company have acknowledged that a 52-year-old man first invented a very similar music storage device over 30 years ago. Nevertheless, the inventor will not see any of the billions in revenue that the iPod has generated for Apple.
