    That's not true. LG, Sony, Lenovo (IBM) and Dell were recalling half a million Lithium-Ion batteries due to fire and risk of explosions. And iPods/iPhones use the same batteries as well.

    That's horrendous.

    I'm not putting my iPod in my trouser pocket from now on if you know what I mean...
  2. This is the only case that didn't instantly make me vomit on the UK Apple store for the iTouch:-



    Is that the best they can come up with? I know it will protect it, whcih is good, but you losse all the visual impact (and thinness) which is pretty horrendous
  3. Update on the exploding phone that killed that dude.

    IT WAS A HOAX

    I'm confused. Your link is to a very interesting U2.com article about JT on Radio 2.

    That makes more sense than the story yesterday.

    Is it April and I didn't realise

    (Mind, the last April fool I fell for was about a JT Anniversary re-issue............)

    I'm hearing that.
  8. Alright guys, specially Drew...
    my iPod nano's been dead since this morning! I connected it with the usb cable last night before going to bed so that I would have it charged by the morning, and this morning it just wouldn't turn on at all!! Now, 6 hours later, it still doesn't respond.
    Is it the "dead battery" thing or something less horrific?!

    Alright...I seem to have fixed it...just connected it to the usb cable again, pressed the center and menu button for some time and it showed a battery sign saying it is very low! Now it's fixed, charging normally

    Sometimes if the battery runs completely falt you have to re-boot it to get it to charge. Sounds like that's what you did, so should be fine now
  11. That's what you gotta do. In cases where the battery is so low (completely discharged below the 5% range) you'll need to leave it connected or reboot it to give it a little kick. It's happened several times with my old 4G and the new classic. Apple has it documented somewhere on their website.

    I can't view my photos with firmware 1.0.3 - just a black screen is all I get.

    Has anyone with iPods and Apple stuff noticed the arrogance of those in the official forums? They're so bloody rude - say something's wrong with Apple - oh no, it's not Apple, it must be your fault. Nah, Apple wouldn't make a shoddy product. Their stuff is the best, it's so reliable.

    Not when the batteries are blowing up and corroding it's not.
