A lawsuit directed against Apple and AT&T, originally filed earlier this month, has been amended and resubmitted to potentially become a class action case, says the New York Times. The plaintiffs -- Adam Weisblatt, Joe Hanna and David Turk -- allege that Apple and AT&T "baited" them into buying an iPad 3G with the promise of pre-paid, unlimited data, "only to have that promise reneged upon within weeks of their purchases." AT&T imposed caps on most iPad users beginning June 7th, only allowing unlimited data for earlier customers on automatic renewal.
When it was launched in April, the suit argues, one of the marketing points of the iPad 3G was the ability to opt in and out of an unlimited data plan at will. By forcing people to either automatically renew their plans or accept data caps, the companies backtracked on their promises, the suit charges. Some customers are said to have had less than a week's notice that the unlimited option would be taken away.
