it went out with a bang so to speak.

Yea, too bad that Japan produces 60 percent of the lithium ion batteries sold worldwide- http://tinyurl.com/32upm4

This wasn't the only report of an Ipod nano catching fire either, read the article. This is a potential problem for any device that uses lithium battery technology.

This was a first-generation iPod nano originally made in 2005. Maybe it was accidentally damaged (banged or dropped at one time and had damage to the battery)

Who is the source… What Japanese official. Maybe the laptop, was probably a cheaply designed WinPC from Japan & was sending out too much power. Maybe it was a cheap third-party charger.

Do you suppose the Japanese or Americans would be asking for an investigation if a Toyota, Honda, Ford , or GM battery sparked because someone moron attached some third-party trickle charger.

"The photographs show a badly charged black iPod nano, model No. A1137."

I think "badly charged" was supposed to be "badly charred", but still it seems appropriate.

ex ped: Thanks for the catch. A typo almost too good to correct.

any statement printed on money.cnn.com that does not put apple in the golden spotlight of heavenly bliss and you girlz cry like little b#$%hes that forune or elmerD are wrong, paid by who-knows, drumming up trash, etc. etc.
