It seems that iPod Nanos have been recruited by the extremists and have become suicide bombers. One Apple enthusiast was charging his first-gen Nano via his PC USB cord when shizz got serious and things exploded:
"After being plugged in for somewhere between 5-10 minutes I heard a sizzling sound. I looked down on the iPod just in time to see it explode open and start shooting sparks and spewing smoke... I had noticed that a small fire had started on the table I had the laptop and the iPod sitting on... Unlike in other cases, I've read about, my iPod continued to spew smoke and spit sparks while throwing out some kind of sooty substance from the inside of the iPod for several minutes after removing the cable from the computer. I moved the still spitting iPod from the table and placed it on a book case across the room."
Did Skynet just go online or something?

Damn first and third world sweat shops.
worst part about this is they probably won't allow ipods on planes anymore. it's practically a bomb waiting to happen.
:D
Oh and btw, I'm the biggest fan of Apple so don't jump down my throat. Just making a joke (As I type on a Macbook and play with my iPod Touch.)
What, the rest of us aren't worthy enough to deserve an exploding iPod?
what does that have to do with the exploding ipod?
Hmmm. Lets see, my smoldering/sparking/spittiing iPod should gooooooo...HERE...on a bookshelf with lots of books made of PAPER!!
Genius.
Sure, the bookshelf could have been empty, but no one said it, so I say we burn him like a T-Bone steak on the 4th of July. :-P
Put a Sony battery in it. Problem solved. Kabooom!!!!
Kinda like the remote kill switch that apple put on ALL of the 3G iPhones?
