Lawsuit over iPhone 4 just one week after release

From a CNET report at the link below:

Barely a week since the public got its hands on the iPhone 5, the first lawsuit over it has been filed.

The suit accuses Apple and AT&T of knowingly distributing a phone with a malfunctioning antenna.

The iPhone maker and its exclusive carrier partner in the U.S. are accused of a laundry list of infractions, including: general negligence, defect in design, manufacture, and assembly, breach of warranty, deceptive trade practices, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and fraud by concealment.

With that many charges, one wonders if the iPhone 4 was prematurely rushed to market.

In responding to the first iPhone 4 complaints, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said it was the users fault accusing them of holding the phone wrong.
