Amazon UK faces lawsuits over mispriced iPaqs

A second London law firm has thrown its weight behind claims from disgruntled customers who say Amazon.co.uk should honor the sale of HP iPaqs which it wrongly advertised at £7.32 ($11.44), when the normal retail price is nearer to £300 ($470).

Amazon.co.uk users who bought the Pocket PC handhelds have been receiving e-mails saying the sales have been cancelled but legal opinion seems to suggest the e-tailer might not be out the woods just yet. Yesterday law firm Beale and Company told silicon.com that courts may look favorably upon customers' claims and advised shoppers who snapped up the bargain-priced gadgets to fight their corner.
