Apple won an appeal over alleged iPod hearing loss when The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco affirmed a 2008 district court ruling that the plaintiffs failed to show that use of the iPod poses an unreasonable risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
It also found that the plaintiffs lacked standing to allege a violation of California's unfair competition law. Jeff Friedman, a Berkeley, California lawyer representing the plaintiffs, did not immediately return a call for comment. David Bernick, who represented Apple, had no immediate comment. An Apple spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

Apple's data-hungry iPhone at times overwhelmed London operator O2's network during the last six months but additional capacity helped ease the problem by December, O2 said on Tuesday.
O2, which is owned by Spain's Telefonica said some customers in the UK capital had periodically not been able to make or receive calls or transmit data because of pressure on the network from smartphones such as the iPhone. O2, whose exclusive contract to market the Apple handset in the UK expired in November, had seen an 18-fold increase in data traffic since the start of the year, a spokesman said.

Though Apple has shunned the stylus in favor of multi-touch on the iPhone and iPod touch, a new patent application suggests the company is investigating superior handwriting and input recognition via pen.
The patent application, revealed this week, describes a system that would comprehend complex "ink information" created from the use of a pen-like stylus.
