Apple - surprising you. Always

So Apple re-called its first generation iPod - quite some time back. The issue was that in rare cases the battery of the iPod may heat up and thus pose a safety risk.

This was for iPods sold in the year 2005-06. The issue had been identified to be limited to one particular battery supplier. So you could check up your serial number and if yours was one of those, you get a replacement - FREE. After 5 years.

and the replaced units are, guess what?
the latest gen iPod nano - yeah, the touch ones.

To add to the delight of a user (I know a colleague in my office), it was replaced with an 8 GB iPod nano.

The one that he bought in 2005 was a 2 GB.

What value!
