I diipubt that we've got a legal leg to stand on - no firmly enough to be worth pursuing - but I am no lawyer.I'm feeling a bit bait-and-switched here. To me, the appeal of the iPad 3G was the plan. Specifically:
-I'm mostly around WiFi, so the 3G was not required every month
-Since it was month-to-month, I could spin up the 3G when I would be doing traveling but cancel it when I thought I'd go 30 days without needing it.
-The plans were priced at attractive levels
-My understanding was if I went over 250 MB, I simply paid the difference to the unlimited plan, and was upgraded.
Now:
-The plans are priced just OK
-The upgrade for overage is less kind
-Still can pay month-to-month
Had the iPad been out three years, like the iPhone, or even a year, I could probably shrug this off with a little grumbling. The fact that these alterations came out a month after the device's release has me using the phrase "bait and switch." Framing it that way, is there some action that can be taken?
I think that organizing and griping, boycotting and writing letters/emails is about as far as we can take it. I don't know that it will do a damned thing other than let our extreme displeasure be known, but that sounds good to me, as well.
You're absolutely right about the bait and switch.
