Apple replacing exploding Nanos

After several reports of first-generation Ipod Nanos smoking and giving off sparks, Apple has decided to offer a replacement plan.



The company issued a statement Tuesday concerning the exploding Nanos.

"Apple has determined that in very rare cases batteries in first generation iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 can overheat causing failure and deformation of the iPod nano. Apple has received very few reports of such incidents (less than 0.001 percent of first generation iPod nano units), which have been traced back to a single battery supplier. There have been no reports of serious injuries or property damage, and no reports of incidents for any other iPod nano model.

Any first generation iPod nano customers who have experienced their battery overheating should contact AppleCare for a replacement. Any other customers who have concerns about their first generation iPod nano battery should also contact AppleCare."


Do you own a first generation Nano, and if you do have you had any problems with it?
