[Ecommerce] Class-Action Lawsuit Over iPhone Locking?

[jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com]

All,
  Seems also that Mac is also now enguaging in covering theirselves
from bad but truthfull PR.  Censorship?
  See: http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2007/09/iphone_users_ta.html

An anonymous reader writes "InfoWeek blogger Alex Wolfe reports that some
iPhone users are mad as heck at Apple for bricking up their device in
response to non-Apple-authorized software downloads. In a discussion
thread on Apple's own iPhone forum, one user posts that he's 'Seeking
respondents for possible class action lawsuit against Apple Inc. relating
to refusal to service iPhones and related accessories under warranty.'
Some who have replied to the post agree that Apple is being unbelievably
arrogant and is ripe for legal action. But others say Cupertino is well
within its rights to control its own device." Apple seems to have removed
the cited post, but it is reproduced as screenshots in the article.

Update: 10/02 02:42 GMT by KD : Reader Cleverboy wrote in to note that
the screenshots present in the article are of a posting on Macosrumors,
not Apple's forum, and to question the conclusion that Apple removed any
posting. The article has been updated since this story went live to make
clear that the original posting by user "myndex" was on the Apple forum
and was (apparently) removed by Apple; and that the screenshot is of a
mirror post myndex made to Macosrumors.
