iPod Nano 1st Generation Replacement Program

[colin79666]

Apple are replacing 1st Gen iPod Nanos made between September 2005 and December 2006 due to a fire risk.

Most people have probably moved onto later models now but you might still have one lying in a drawer or connected up to blue and me so best to be safe than sorry!

Thanks for this! I bought mine for £140 for 1gb back when Woolworths was open. I use my iPhone now but hey, free new ipod? Well alrighty then!

I'm sending mine back, I got one on release day from Apple. I expect they won't replace it with a new model but with another 1st gen with the outer case and battery replaced (given they are taking 6 weeks to send a replacement).

even if its just the case thats replaced, itll look a hell of a sight better than what mine looks like now!


i sound awfully excited over something that couldve burned my house down

Thanks for the heads up! Sending mine back. Good timing too, as the battery doesn't hold charge for long any more.

Mine is completely knackered but is covered, do you think they'll take it??

Do Apple actually do product testing?

Because Dell batteries are so much safer

Yeah but look how many different models Dell ship in a given time frame.. Apple and their product range you think they could get it right.
