This is a ridiculous argument. It may be an interesting story but there is no point in saying that Palm's auto update is going to result in people dying. Any phone malfunctioning for whatever reason could result in someone not being able to dial 911.
I would say that yes it is an interesting story and perhaps a jury would award some one something like the lady who sued mcdonalds after spilling coffee on herself.... remember this is the age of non personal responsibility, someone else is always to blame... johnny got a "F" on his test because the teacher refused for him to use enhanced test taking methods.... a.k.a. cheating. you see if johnny fails then it makes the teacher look bad and her stats go down.....
