iPod Class-Action Suit Settled

[CleanFreak]

"In the fall of 2003, eight consumers filed a suit, alleging that the iPod failed to live up to claims that the rechargeable battery would last the product's lifetime and play music continuously for up to 10 hours."

As usual, all of these class settlements are a joke. The consumer never really gets compensated for anything.

Yeah, it's pretty lame, especially considering the $99 cost of replacing the battery. I say they should send out new ones to those who have bad ones free of charge, but I'm not the govt.

And as always you have to provide a receipt. Come on, how many people save their receipts, especially after it's been four years since introduction of an iPod? Also they want to exclude ebay buyers, what's up with that, iPod is an iPod, even if purchased from ebay. Suckers (->apple)...
