BWAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh.
All Apple cares about, like most corporations, is their own bottom line. Their actions don't say otherwise.]]>Aug 19th 2008 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/
1. Buy a 1st gen Nano real cheap from eBay.
2. Plug it, let it charge for 40 days and nights.
3. Have a sand bucket, glass of water, fire extinguisher on hand, use before fire gets out of hand.
4. Camera: click, click, flash, flash.
4. Write a letter.
5. Wait for your new 2008 Nano to arrive in the mail.

Total cost of new Nano: $50]]>Aug 19th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/

Apparently I am.
Additional remark: Apple must have seriously poor taste in choosing their batteries, if these stories are to be representative of a larger population of gadgets. First exploding MacBooks, now spontaneously combusting iPods...]]>Aug 19th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/
Lithium Ion Batteries by memory have a small chip to stop the device if it's trying to draw the last little bit of the battery or if it's over charging it. It only takes one of those faulty chips to fail, and then whole device can be blown up. Give some lean way to apple, this is 2 or 3 cases that can't even be confirmed that they didn't have previous damage (water or heat damage is hard to detect some times)]]>Aug 19th 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/Aug 19th 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/japan-investigates-exploding-first-generation-ipod-nanos-again/
