TOKYO (AP) - This is NOT what people should have in mind whenthey talk about having some really hot music on their iPods. Apple
is advising that some of its iPods sold in recent years have had a
problem with overheating. The company says the problem is limited
to some iPods sold between September, 2005 and December, 2006. It
says the defective units can, on rare occasions, overheat, fail and
deform. Apple says the problem has been caused by a battery defect
that has been traced to a single supplier. And it says, unless you
have one of the troubled lot of batteries, your iPod should be fine.
The dispatch from Apple's Tokyo branch come after a disclosure by
the Japanese government that it is investigating a possible battery
defect in the first-generation iPod Nano. A trade agency says it
has received three reports that iPod Nano models have overheated.
For its part, Apple says the problems are extremely rare and that
if customers are worried about their Nano players, they should get
in touch with AppleCare services.
