The 1.1.1 patch is going to be the "Red Ring of Death" for the iPhone, mark my words.
Now, some upset customers are calling for a class-action lawsuit against Apple for releasing the patch and bricking some iPhones.
Apple's forums have been on fire with complaints (which have been removed) claiming that Apple's actions were malicious and intentional.
While it sucks when you end up with an expensive brick, this is what happens when you hack products. You don't see anyone suing Sony over bricked PSPs, though to be fair, those are far less common.

It was funny to read some peoples reasonings why Apple should lose...one person even compared modifying software to installing a supercharger on a BMW

Dongmei Li of Queens, New York, claimed the company violated price discrimination laws when it slashed the price of the 8-gigabyte iPhone by a third, from $599 to $399, within two months of the gadget's June debut.

We give you much larga price because you asian! Seriously...like what ya'll have said, you KNOW the price is going to get dropped.

Apple lowered the iPhone's price on September 5 and also said it would stop selling the $499 4-gigabyte model. Hundreds of early customers who paid full price didn't expect a reduction so soon and complained.

Which is why Apple acknowledged its mistake and did the rebates

According to Li's lawsuit, filed on September 24 in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, the price reduction injured early purchasers like herself because they cannot resell the product for the same profit as those who bought the cell phone following the price cut.

According to Li's lawsuit, filed on September 24 in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, the price reduction injured early purchasers like herself because they cannot resell the product on ebay for thousands and thousands of dollars but must eat the fact that she bought a ridiculously priced cell phone that is still facing a lot of shit.

Li purchased a 4GB iPhone for $499 and alleged that owners of the 4GB model were given less favorable terms than those who bought the 8GB model at the premium price, according to the lawsuit.

Yes, because you're paying 499, we should give you EVERYTHING. Here's an idea, how about for the cheap iMacs they put in 4 gigs of memory and throw in a 30 inch monitor while the people who pay 2000 for the G5's get 2 gigs of memory and a 30 inch.

Mark Siegel, an AT&T spokesman, declined to comment, saying he had not yet seen the lawsuit.

Mark Siegel, an AT&T spokesman, declined to comment because he is currently too busy in his office laughing his ass off.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
