Great Ceasar’s ghost! A woman in Ohio is charging the double-As for breach of contract for… mum… not supplying MMS with the 3.0 firmware.
She writes in the lawsuit:
“Millions of customers, as a result of the false and deceptive representations and concealments of Apple and AT&T purchased the 3G and 3GS, waiting for the wonderful day in June 2009 when the new application would be available which would allow MMS,” the court filing states. “Unfortunately, after downloading the new 3.0 Software Update application, MMS still did not work on both the 3G and 3GS.”
While the lawsuit is clearly batshit insane, the plaintiff, Deborah Carr, does have a point: we were supposed to get MMS in late summer and summer, according to WWDC and they’ll release MMS when they damn well feel like it – but it’s nice to see someone holding good old arbitrary Apple to some of its PR claims.
What a coincidence – I really was actually thinking about this just yesterday. Between the lack of MMS and the continuing voicemail problems I’ve been having, I’m starting to get a little peeved. Plus because of the downturn in the job market, I do have a little more time on my hands these days. Maybe I’ll file a suit too.. just for fun. Plus it will be good for the economy.
The lawsuit won’t do anything really (except make Apple look bad; maybe the point?).
Make Apple look bad? Actually, it does the opposite, makes the whiners look like they’re batshit insane.
BTW, late summer ends on 9/21/09. So, they have 3-4 weeks to make it happen.
Just another ridiculous lawsuit. I believe I read that ATT will finally allow MMS around October. Regarding the first comment, add the inability to multi-task onto the list of no mms and vm issues.
It’s not the iPhone that is the problem. The iPhone will do MMS and the only thing preventing this is the provisioning from AT&T. Since they seem to be doing it manually, it could take awhile. The lawsuit is really frivilous, and a complete waste of court time;which also makes it a complete waste of public money. If people would stop all the BS lawsuits, we could save hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Either get a life or STFUp and stop being a pest.
I have MMS since June. Carriers in South America support it.
It’s these
“ridiculous lawsuits” that hold companies like AT&T accountable and to their word or else they must pay.
