The two lawsuits were over that old familiar iPod problem: battery life. One of the suits, Bradley Waddell's, was accepted into class-action status by the Ontario Superior Court while the second, Ines Lenzi's (Montreal) was denied such status by the Quebec Superior Court.

Despite that, Apple agreed to a settlement covering both claims. Finalization of the settlement is still required, in court in Montreal on May 26 and in Toronto on June 20.

It should be noted this is a credit, meaning you have to buy something at the Apple store, so Apple still gets something out of the deal.

Unfortunately for Lenzi, the amount desired falls short of that suit's claims. Lenzi initially asked for $137.77 from Apple for a replacement battery, plus shipping and handling, $50 for inconvenience and $400 in exemplary damages.

Information on the settlement is available here. According to the site a claim from will be coming soon on that same page.
