Law Student Sues Apple Over iPod Capacity
Thursday, October 18th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
A law student in Montreal, Canada, thinks Apple has misled consumers with its iPod storage claims. David Bitton is so mad, in fact, that he filed a class action law suit against the company because his iPod nano holds only 7.45GB worth of data, and not the advertised 8GB, according to the Montreal Gazette.
Mr. Bitton claimed that on average, Apple products offer about 7.5 percent less storage than is actually advertised. Apple, however, clearly states on its iPod nano Web site that the devices usable capacity is below the physical capacity.
From Apples Web site: "1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less."
Apples product packaging also states that the available storage is less than the devices raw, unformatted capacity. Mr. Bitton doesnt think thats good enough and claimed that many iPod buyers dont understand the difference between advertised and actual storage capacities.
Mr. Bitton is hoping the court will award him and all iPod owners in Quebec a full refund for their iPods, and barring that, a 7.5 percent refund.
