iPod Nano Recall

[myke]

Not sure if I'll send mine off... I always remember when I bought this from Toys 'R' Us, I was like WOWZ 1GB IS HUGE SPACE *+*+ and I was sat in the back of my Dad's car pressing the play button and the menu button thinking they were used as up and down arrows and then was like Dad we have to go back this one's broke... until I read the manual and found out about the thumbwheel LOL :| woopz...

GD MEMORIES!! Dunno if I'll send mine off, it just sits in my drawer

I guess the point is: Do not send in your Nano unless it's broken or on the verge of dying. The recall seems a bit odd, the Nano can't be that bad if there are no notable problems with it. It has been about 4 years or so since that Nano was released. I'm amazed they're doing this, good on them I guess seeing as it is an ancient device now.

Well I'm not sure about it being odd because of the following:

Under pressure from regulators, Apple agreed to provide replacements for affected units in South Korea in 2009 and in Japan in 2010. With today's announcement, it appears that the replacement program is now in effect on a worldwide basis.

That doesn't really state anything about the recall other than it's worldwide. What are the specific problems? From the reaction to this, it seems to be an unnoticeable issue with the 1st Nano. Afterall, it if was such a noticeable problem, it wouldn't be such a shock and be considered big news as it is now

Well it does, they were under pressure and were made to do it in two other countries before hand.

Apple Inc. said it will offer replacements of iPad Nano music players in Japan that overheat, following calls by the government to take measures to prevent the devices from catching fire.

I believe they also did it in South Korea and now obviously it's world wide.

How very odd that it's gone unnoticed for so many years Would it actually catch fire? I'd imagine they would just overheat and turn off, similar to what a laptop or computer would do.

They've apparently ran out of old iPod Nano's and are now replacing these with the newest ones

I'm still waiting for mine back, where is the source of that info, Logan?

A lot of people have been getting the newest generation shipped.

Bloody good of Apple really!

Is this only for 1st gen?
Can't believe that people still have them..I thought my 2nd gen was old
