iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit
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."
call for mega lawsuits!
"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"
So they MUST have known it scratched really easily....
They just put a regular iPod in a cloner and reduced the scale. If you put a Nano in your cloner and increase the scale back to normal, the resin layer will compensate.
No sig for you!!
Did anyone else have to read this headline four or five times?
I finally got it, though. Someone had their iPod in their suit, which managed to scratch their results.
What if I do the same thing, and I do get different results?

They failed to warn you about the face getting scratched.
This just means that the 50-page book of safety instructions that noone reads will now have a 51st page stating that you should not place the unit next to or touching anything that can scratch it, deface it, mar the surface, or look at it crosseyed.

I didnt know you could just sue people for releasing a crappy product. I guess Microsoft and ATI both owe me a few bucks.
That's a good idea, I'm going to do the same! I'll just save this legal letter I've written to my handy Iomega Zip Drive and then I'll
You can have my cynical agnosticism when you pry it from my cold, dead logic.

People who drive their new cars on the road have begun filing class action lawsuits against major automotive companies such as Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and Honda claiming that their vehicles are getting damaged when getting into accidents.

When they said the nano was redesigned from scratch, I guess they weren't kidding.

I think you stumbled on the answer to this whole Nano-scratch debacle!
See, people who purchase Nanos are rich, thereby increasing the odds that they will have diamonds annd sapphires bouncing around in their pockets with their mp3 players!
You know what?
Re-reading my own comment, I see that it could be construed as recommending that humans have sex with many bonobos, which is not what I was trying to say. Oh, well.
Shop as usual. And avoid panic buying.
Where can I find one of these girls? Okay, just kidding...I'll need at least two.
