First generation iPod nano owners, listen up. If your iPod nano was purchased between September of 05 and December of 06, then you might have some “hot” features you don’t want.
Macworld has an article that details Apple recognition that “in very rare cases” (about 0.001 percent) said iPods could overheat. Apple is blaming the problem on an unnamed battery supplier. The faulty batteries can, in some instances, overheat, causing “failure and deformation of the iPod Nano.“
So far, there have been no reports of serious injury or property damage resulting from this issue. If you have concerns about overheating, contact Apple like a reader of the Consumerist did rather lengthily. The policy so far is to replace faulty batteries for free.
Macworld continues to explain that Apple was responding to several incidents from Japan where these iPod nanos caused minor fire damage.
While I think this is a pretty rare issue, it’s good to know. If your pocket with the iPod nano in it starts getting hot, you know what to do. Though I doubt I’d worry about this problem in pocket. It’s more likely to happen when charging.
