Apple Sued Over Nano Scratches
October 23rd, 2005
The alleged tendency of the iPod nano screen to scratch has landed Apple with a class-action lawsuit in San Jose, California.
nano owner, Jason Tomczak, claims he managed to scratch his screen simple by wiping it with a paper towel. Although, the temptation is there to believe that he must have previously used the paper towel to wipe up some iron filings, the flimsiness of the nano in general has been the subject of much online discussion since it was unveiled last month by Steve Jobs.
The law suit itself is fairly vague about the nature of the complaint. iPod nanos “scratch excessively during normal usage, rendering the screen on the Nanos [sic] unreadable, and violating state consumer protection statutes… and causing Plaintiff class members to incur loss of use and monetary damages.”
The plaintiffs are, quite reasonably, asking for their purchase price to be refunded, damages and attorney fees. INcrediblty they are also asking for a share of nano profits, but on what grounds is unknown.
