Judge green lights iPhone 'brick' lawsuit
Apple loses appeal for dismissal

A US judge has ruled that a
lawsuit
against Apple and AT&T can go ahead, despite Apple's request to have the
suit dismissed.
The $1.2m suit alleges that Apple and AT&T knowingly sabotaged unlocked
iPhone handsets with the release of the iPhone 1.1.1 software update.
The suit claims that the companies violated US trade and copyright laws which
had allowed users to alter their phones. The plaintiffs are suing both companies
for violating federal antitrust laws.
Apple has long claimed that it would not deliberately harm unlocked phones,
but that the company could not guarantee that updates would not harm modified
handsets.
District Judge James Ware denied Apple's request to dismiss the claims, thus
allowing the case to move forward. He did, however, grant motions to limit the
claims to the states of California, Washington and New York.
