The plaintiff named in the suit, Jason Tomczak, bought his Nano in September. He said the screen quickly became so scratched that he could not view it. He claims in the suit that the screen was so easily scratched that even rubbing a paper towel across it left significant marks. The suit also claims that putting the Nano in your pocket with items such as car keys, coins, a credit card or the device's headphones can render the screen hard to read. Apple has reportedly sold more than 1 million Nanos since the device's introduction.

Maybe I'm just being a fanboy, but I don't buy it. Apple has certainly been hardnosed about defects in the past, but I think this dude's a dick. If you put your iPod in our pocket with metal objects, it's gonna get hella scratched. I mean, seriously.

Unless Apple's lying about the use of one plastic over another (they say the nano uses the same resin as the previous models), then i think this is a retarded lawsuit.
