PC Mag Reviews Creative Zen Touch

"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but is a straight line the best way to navigate your music files? The Zen Touch invades Apple's formerly exclusive territory of touch-driven interfaces with a finger-wide, vertical touch pad in the center of the player instead of the iPod's well-known touch wheel. Anyone who's used a hard-disk music player knows you do a lot of scrolling, and scrolling is where buttons and rocker switches are at their worst. But is the Zen Touch's inch-long pad the equal of iPod's endless loop?"
This is the first MP3 player hardware I have seen that sports a similar touch-sensitive interface similar to the iPod. I thought Apple had a patent on this?
