Japanese Gov't: iPod nano batteries caused fires

It looks like this is even in US iPods too, I was in the apple store for my iPod Touch and someone bought one in which had caught fire. it was a white 1st gen iPod, allegedly bought soon after the introduction

this is probably just FUD thrust into the new media of japan by lobbyists for "au" and "docomo", the two main carriers that are NOT carrying the iPhone. SONY made the exploding batteries in the Apple Laptops. there werent any press releases about that here. cant believe i actually saw that on the news here. garbage.

It seems you keep hearing about these fire with the ipods but I have owned iPod for over 2 years several and I have never experience anything like that. I use my ipod and ipod nano for Music, Movie and Game Downloads at http://www.ipodtunesdownloads.com

Well, Apple, like most manufacturers gets their batteries from other manufacturers, and there was almost a pandemic of batteries bursting into fire on laptops, Dell and Apple's included. So this isn't exactly any one's fault since naturally, these were manufactured before the batteries defects were known.

However, I am sure this will make Apple issue something with these older nanos to prevent this from happening again.

Come on. Its batteries. Not Apple Batteries.

I think my nano may have gone the way of the flame had I left it powered any longer, fortunately I noticed something afoot before any fireworks:
