Apple lawsuits

What is the deal with this supposed lawsuit against apple for scratching on the IPOD nano. This is even more ludicrous than the suits against fast food companies for making people obese. Which although legally insane still contained a valid subtext to be explored. This IPOD nano thing is ridiculous. First off, scratches don't prevent operation, second scratches hasn't injured anyone. This is just mind boggling. The truth of the situation is that apple put out a crappy design. You don't get sued for crappy design unless as I mentioned it hurts someone. You have a crappy design people don't buy your products. That is where I think this whole thing comes from. People still want to buy the nano regardless of its crappy design because everything else about it is right and no one else has something on the market like it. They're simply caught and are using litigation to remedy their anger. I already mentioned a while back about the scratches and how there is no way they couldn't come up with a better plastic. But you don't sue somebody for that. That is the epitome of frivolous lawsuits. Fact of the matter is that Apple will probably fix the scratching problem with the next iteration of the nano. They have proven that with so many version of the other IPODs that they are willing to examine and change the design. But a lawsuit is just wholly uneccessary. There was already a lot of vocal criticism and even Apple admitted to the IPOD being scratch prone. Although on only a small percentage. This lawsuit talk is crazy.
