From Mac Minute:



Apple recently threatened Samsung with a lawsuit over a digital music player that closely resembles the iPod, according to a BusinessWeek article on the electronics giant. "The Korean company had planned to release its well-reviewed Yepp YP-900 hard-drive digital music player in May but has delayed it until fall because Apple threatened to sue, claiming the device looked too similar to its hot iPod. Samsung execs say the Yepp will be redesigned."









Yup!
