    @Cyborgmatt: Maybe you should have thought of that before passing the Stamp Act of 1765.

    Fucking BS. I received mine before the coating was applied and it's scratched to all hell but it doesn't qualify. It's also bloated.

    Warning - not all 1G nanos are included. I put in the serial number on the 1G nano I've been using for 4 years, and it says I don't qualify:


    "Coated Nano - Not Covered by Settlement"


    "You have reached this screen because you entered a Serial Number for a First Generation iPod Nano that is coated, and is therefore not covered under the Class Definition for this settlement."

    @SwatLax: I guess it's only been three years, but whatever - no free movie for me :-(


    The class action website says that nanos made after December 2005 had the coating.

    Yea it's stupid and all. And mine didn't get scrathed because I'm not an idiot and like to take care of my stuff.


    But if I can get 25 bucks from Apple. Why the hell not?

    @MacDaddy901: Because ridiculous class-action lawsuits like this do nothing but line the pockets of lawyers one step above ambulance chasers. They DO NOT have the interest of the affected parties in mind at all, just how much they can skim off the top of the settlement.


    Lawsuits like this only encourage others, which in the end will drive up the price of any electronic device you buy. That's why the hell not.

    I thought the first Nano was horrible anyway. It was the replacement for the Mini and it came with less memory for mor? WTH. My 1G Mini with 32GB will knock the socks off any iPod Nano now for music storage.

    @Dafrety: The mini also had an HDD. Flash players were still relatively expensive. Also, how much did that compact flash/microdrive replacement cost to install?

    Can owners of the 2G iPod nano get $25 for being smart and waiting for a nice brushed aluminum housing instead of the scratch-prone housing of the first nano?

    This really is stupid. People didn't just wake up one day and say "OH SHIT MY IPOD IS SCRATCHED ALL TO FUCK". They probably got a nick here, then a nick there, and after actually using one of these things, it didn't seem any more scratch-prone than my previous 5th generation video iPods. I've seen some pretty scratched up examples, but they were still usable, even if the aesthetic was mucked up.

    @Kaiser 'Google Street View' Machead: Yeah, but my 8GB 1G Zune still has no scratches and I've had it for a year or two (ever since Sansa started giving me crap with ports giving out and dying every two months). Not only does it have no scratches, but it has been caseless since I bought it. Other than fingerprints and a little bit of wear on the pad it looks pristine. Why shouldn't Apple products behave the same way?

    @EqualOpportunityCrasher: Unless Apple purposely advertised the scratch resistance of iPod Nanos, I don't really see a case here. People should know what the strengths and weaknesses of the products are before buying them.

    The point of this lawsuit is that some sleazy law firm thinks they can get 100,000 people to do it, and they will get a chunk of the payout. It's a shopping channel-worthy plan.

    I was contacted two days ago by the firm doing the lawsuit, I thought it was spam at first. Good thing I still have my 1st gen nano sitting at the bottom of a drawer. It would be nice to get some $$ back for getting a subpar product.
