ipod nano will burn you to death
OK, maybe not to death, but it’s only a matter of time right? In the last couple of days there have been 2 reports of ipod nanos catching fire. Now I’m guessing this is probably due to the fact they’ve been damaged, the battery contents being exposed to air and spontaneously igniting – a common thing with the chemicals found in most rechargeable batteries. What strikes me as odd though is the sudden interest – I guess it’s because one story gets some attention, a second comes along and it snowballs until you get a general consensus that every iPod is under suspicion of being a fiery killer. I knew Steve Jobs had a bigger plan.. Never trusted him.. The most recent story on The Register has a great title to the article (even better than this one) with "iPod Nano in airport trouser conflagration horror" [SHOW ME]
