Palm users in the US have started a consumer class-action lawsuit against the firm after it admitted overstating the colour display features of its new m130 handheld computer.

Last week the company formally apologised to customers after discovering that the m130 supports about 58,621 colour combinations, some 7,000 less than advertised.

According to Reuters, the suit filed in the California Superior Court accuses Palm of "unfair competition and fraudulent, unfair, deceptive and false advertising".

Law firm Sheller, Ludwig & Badey filed the lawsuit on behalf of Yansu Ouyang of Castro Valley, Jonathan Lipner of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, and any "similarly situated" m130 customers.

Palm said that it will "aggressively fight" the lawsuit as it was already working on a plan to compensate customers.
