So, the Apple iPod Settlement website FAQ said there would be a result by September 20th 2005, but the front page now says that on December 22nd 2005 the settlement is final and it's just a case of the Settlement Administrator moving forward with "claims administration and claims fulfillment."

Meanwhile I find myself being increasingly drawn towards surfing websites selling aftermarket batteries for my dead 3G iPod, because, dammit, I miss my music.

Should we just sit it out, or should we take to the streets of Cupertino, torching pedestrians and SUVs until we get our way?

Got any good slogans to shout?

It’s been a month since the settlement was Final. Has anyone else received their recompense?
