iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit 446
Evil W1zard writes "Earlier this week a class action lawsuit against Apple was filed claiming that the iPod Nano has a widespread propensity for scratching easily. The lawsuit alleges that Apple violated state consumer protection statutes, as well as express and implied warranties and charges that Apple knew that there were design problems with the Nano." From the article: "An Apple representative declined to comment on the suit, but Apple has stated that the Nano is made of the same polycarbonate material that's found in previous iPods and maintained that the scratching problem does not appear to be widespread. The lawsuit charges, however, that the Nano contains a thinner coating of resin than on previous iPod models."

Notice that this statement is meant to sound like Apple just rigged Grandma's respirator to fail due to shoddy workmanship. While there is certainly damage to the Nano, and the coating process is "clearly defective", I don't buy for a minute the last statment that the players are irrparably damaged. There are plenty ways that Apple can make good without paying a fucking nickle to these assholes.
Mind you, I am no Apple fanboy and am not against filing law suits when people are being scammed, but this suit is just one more reason to ship lawyers to the Moon to minimize contamination of the rest of the world's population.

Laptop was ~$2500 dollars new and was basically useless because problem was so bad.
1. Send in for a fix (who knows what that entails since it was never fixed with previous fixes). Toshiba still made $2500 on a POS
2. Keep the lap no fix $500. Toshiba still made and you paid $2000 on a POS.
3. Send the latop in for test if falls in certain paramaters they keep laptop you get $1000. Toshiba still made and you paid $1500 dollars on a POS that you don't even get to keep.
So if you ask me from what I have experienced on a technology class action the company still makes millions while we the people get screwed.

True, I shouldn't have to do that; maybe Apple should have used a better material for the screen. In the end I see this as another frivolous lawsuit that's destroying this country.
