"A court has conditionally approved a settlement in a class action suit brought against Apple Computer by several consumers who claim their iPod batteries did not live up to the company's representation. Class members who purchased or obtained a new first- or second-generation iPod on or before May 31, 2004 and experienced battery failure within two years of purchase would receive a $50 credit at the online or retail Apple Store or a $25 reimbursement check. Anyone who purchased or obtained one of the first three generation iPods on or before May 31, 2004 and paid for battery-related services under Apple's Battery Replacement Program before June 3, 2005, is also eligible to receive a reimbursement check for 50 percent of the cost of the service."Hmmm, a $50 store credit or $25 reimbursement and the attorneys get $2,768,000. 8O I should have gone to law school instead of becoming an accountant.
