iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit

Posted by Zonk on from the don't-put-it-in-your-pocket-with-your-keys dept.

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."

    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.

    ...demanding that customers get their money back as well as a share of the company's profits on the music player's sales.
    Clearly being a heavy crack user doesn't stop someone from practicing law.

    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

    Do you have a thin skin? Did Steve Jobs leave you raw after the manufacturing process? Are you pissed off? Good, because it's time to shout "I've got a scratch in my stupid fucking MP3 music player, and I'm not going to take it any more!"

    Get up off your fat ass or out of your ridiculous-looking jogging outfit (which incidentally looks like Richard Simmons beat you over the head and swapped your wardrobe for his) and get your butt down to the nearest cheap-ass Quinton Q.

We'll make Apple pay for your extreme scratching, for your plastic hemerroids that have so damaged your ability to listen to your stolen MP3 tunes.

    Look for us in the Yellow Pages, right under Flush Toilets.
