o Media Delivery Firm Burst.com
Sues Apple for Patent Infringement
Santa Rosa, Calif. - Burst.com, a developer of audio and
video delivery technology, has filed a countersuit against Apple
Computer, alleging that Apple's iTunes Music Store, iTunes and
QuickTime applications, and iPod devices all infringe on Burst.com
patents. Santa Rosa, Calif.-based Burst.com said the filing was in
response to a suit Apple filed in January, asking a judge to find
Burst.com's patents invalid and state that Apple does not violate
them. Microsoft agreed to settle similar litigation filed by
Burst.com, paying a $60 million license fee to the company in March
2005. Burst.com said it is seeking a reasonable royalty from Apple's
allegedly infringing products, and an injunction against further
infringement.

o Report:
Portable Media Storage Device Market to Reach $25 Billion in 2010
Scottsdale, Ariz. - The worldwide retail value of
"luggable media" -- or, portable media cards and devices such as
Secure Digital, Memory Stick, USB and MicroDisk -- is set to rise
from $441 million in 2006 to more than $25 billion in 2010,
according to a report from market research firm In-Stat. Such media
storage devices can transfer large movie files in less than 30
seconds, and feature copy-protection, encryption and other digital
rights management technologies. In-Stat predicted that luggable
media with 8GB storage capacities will become available by 2008, and
have the potential to move media files throughout the home in place
of a wireless home network. "There will be opportunities for movie
studios and other professional content companies to get extra
revenues by licensing portable versions of their content, as well as
by cross-promoting their content," said In-Stat analyst Gerry
Kaufhold. "The portable versions can be used to drive consumers to
the packaged goods versions such as DVDs. We expect to see luggable
media solutions being tested this year and next, and then hitting
the big time during 2008."
