iPhone lawsuit seeks Billions in damages

Yes that billions with a B! According to Computer World the damages in the Federal iPhone lawsuit could reach well over $3.6 Billion.

From the article:

The suit seeks compensation for $1.6 billion in damages, plus punitive and other damages that could push the total to well over $2 billion.

While I'm not so concerned about the amounts it could encourage Apple and AT&T into cutting some sort of deal. Let's just hope that any deal will leave the rest of us with an unlocked iPhone.
