APPLE HAS RECALLED the first-generation version of the iPod nano over fears that the battery contained in the device could overheat and catch fire.
The first-generation slimline nano was released between September 2005 and December 2006. The company is offering a replacement scheme for the device, saying that the safety risk increases as the device ages.
Apple says the issue relates only to the battery contained in the first-generation iPod nano – not to any other iPods. “The issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect,” Apple stated.
The Guardian reports that Apple sold about 60 million iPods during the 2005 – 2006 period, however it is not known how many of those were the nano model.
For customers in doubt over whether their iPod is a first-generation nano, Apple has a few pointers: “It has black or white plastic on the front and a silver metal back –later iPod nano models have a metal front and back”.
The Los Angeles Times further points out that the device has a small screen, no video capability and no touch screen.

Whoever the organisers are take a bow – a brilliant job
I had a great day today, it was packed with people, was so busy in the city, very well organised. I was impressed. I will go tomorrow to see them off. Thank You for a great day.
Is it really necessary to pull Anglo into it?
there are buildings in the background that we can be proud of so maybe be a little more positive and festive.
I hate to gripe over something that is mostly a lot of fun, but why put the stalls where people are selling stuff between the visitors and the river? (We can’t see.)
This is a very good point. It also got very conjested at the pier with little walking room. If the stalls could have been the opposite side of the road, it may have been better.
photos 3, 5 and 9 are awesome
I hope to see it tommorow
Dont get me wrong, tis all great stuff. But what do these tall ships actually do apart from calling into ports and having festivals in honour of them?
F*#k all but it beats looking at the slime in the Liffey if only for a few days!
They race, act as training vessels, create revenue through tourism. Probably other stuff too, Im not very nautical.
There might be a clue in the name (the Tall Ships Race)..
have your say
