iPod goes boom

THis guy is talking smack... I have the same iPod and no issues...

It looks like the charging system either failed, was damaged or was defeated. LiON batteries have a specific limit to which it allows charged. If it's overcharged by 1% then it's at risk of exploding. Good battery modules have charge limiters preventing this from happening, though some third party replacement modules might not have this important circuitry.

I guess thats why Steve Jobs always says 'BOOM' in his keynotes? eh eh ;)

#9 (Max Naylor) ...I think he knows that. Get with it. :-)

The "iDog" name is already taken. : >

Well, I know when my iPod finally dies, I want it to go out with a BANG!

#7: He was not charging it in the shower. It was a shower of sparks. It’s a metaphor. Get with it.

Why the hell was he charging it in the shower, let alone a shower of smoke and sparks? These things are neither waterproof nor smoke proof nor spark proof! The battery should only be charged in a dry environment free of billowing smoke clouds that rain down sparks. Says it right in the manual.

no doubt some moron will buy it on Ebay next week.

amazing that no one was hurt in this. i remember the story of a dog saving his owner from being shocked from underground transformers on a Boston sidewalk. In an effort to retard or suppress injury from exploding ipods, Apple will launch the iDog later this year.
