AAPL Stock: 560.02 ( -7.88 )  Printed from  iPod nano class-
action lawsuit expands  updated 06:20 pm EST, Mon November 7,
2005  Nano lawsuit expands  Consumers today from the United
Kingdom and Mexico on behalf of users in the US, the complaint
alleges that Apple knew about the design flaw, but chose to
ignore them in order to speed the product to market. The defect
is a result of a much thinner layer of resin used in designing
the Nano that does not provide adequate protection from
scratching, according to the suit.  Steve Berman, lead attorney
for both class action lawsuits, said "Apple's iPod nano has sold
in record numbers around the world, just as it did in the US. It
seems that wherever the Nano is sold, problems with the
defective design soon follow."  Berman also stated "the far-
reaching response also reveals that this is not just a small
problem or a bad batch of Nano's, but a defect in the overall
design that should have been rectified prior to the release."
