Considdering how great they are at keeping their timetables in japan this is actually newsworth, not because of the Ipod, but because of the delay itself.

Because in Japan, a ten minute delay is the difference from being between the twenty and twenty thousand queue marker for the latest doujinshi convention.

Possible alternative is keikyu (only valid if you are connecting to Toei) but do remind that JR is heck cheaper if you are on commuter pass.

Exact quote from that Top Gear episode (Nissan GT-R vs bullet train), minus spelling errors:

"87% of normal trains in Japan are on time. But, for them, being late is anything over a minute behind time. So if it's a late train, it's a minute. But in the UK, to be late is going to be over 10 minutes late.
"And if trains are late, you get a free rail _____, so this is late, we don't pay, and we get a little pass that explains to your employer why you're late!"

later in that same episode...

"The average delay of the Tokaido Shinkansen two years ago [2007, episode released in 2009] (that's the one we're on)... six seconds"

Agree though JR is not always the best answer (I hate doing monorail and change to Yamanote and always ride on keikyu ex-Haneda, but always do NEX if ex-NRT, even with Narita Sky Access it is not a lot faster unless you go to Ueon / Tokyo station)]]>Aug 17th 2010 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Aug 16th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Those aren't really names...

Why are you giving us names of unrelated music players?]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/How true :)

Isn't it strange how you only hear about apple palyers going up in smoke? Seems like they need to stop paying their designers too much and actually invest in some engineers.

And yes, I know about the Sony battery issue on laptops about 3-4 years or so back - but unless I am mistaken the problem was contamination in the actual batteries - and they did issue a recal - somethign I'd doubt apple would do anytime soon... - they rather try to legally gag people.
There was a case in the UK where apple offered to replace some i-music-junk that went up in flames under warranty on the condition that they sign a nondisclosure agreement... - it's been a few years, but I'm sure the story can be dug up in Google - it was in times online at the time.]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Probably cause there's not many of those other music players out there. ]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/
Actually the reason you don't hear about it is because Apple has 79% of the market share. Obviously the more devices that are out there, the larger the number of failures.

It's pretty simple statistics...]]>Aug 16th 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/
Probably the same reason we get the "eating dinner off an iPad" posts. People only read if it's Apple]]>Aug 16th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/
So a device bursting apart is acceptable?

Yes, components have a lifespan before they 'fail', but this sounds dangerous.

If Apple can't or simply won't properly test and engineer their products, they shouldn't release anything. Period. And that goes for everyone.]]>Aug 16th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Aug 16th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Aug 16th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/Aug 16th 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/overheating-ipod-delays-rush-hour-train-in-tokyo/
