Apple, Steve Jobs, AT&T sued over iPhone price revision

Since Apple announced the price cut of iPhone made the moron of the early buyers by $200 a law suit was inevitable. It finally happened on Sept 24, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

It was filed by Dongmei Li who accuses Apple and others of price discrimination, underselling, discrimination in rebates, deceptive actions. Did anyone expect a $100 "Store Credit" will settle the humiliation of waiting hours outside the Apple store only to find price slashed by $200 and 4GB model discontinued, what do "genius" Steve Jobs thinks his customer are.... morons ?

May be Steve "I like to say Boom" Jobs doesn't give a damn for his customers which explains the 2-year "mandatory" agreements with AT&T, imposing hefty $175 termination fees then the price cut and joke of a Store Credit!

She cannot resell her iPhone at the same cost she bought, and the 4GB model will be discontinued !

Now guess how much is she asking for damages, $ 1 million ! What kind of lawsuit is if the damages are not at least a million dollars.
