Apple Recalls 1st Gen Ipod Nano

[wallyhopp]

So the dude in the NT thread whos unit actually did catch fire probably threw it away, and thus can't get a replacement? Some companies are so backwards.

 

[witnesskb24]

So they just have a bunch of these old *a word* nanos sitting around still?

The screen on mine is broke too. I just have to find it now.

Seriously they're gonna replace these with 7 year old iPods... That is so crazy and dumb.... But whatever mine broke like 4 years ago and has been sitting in a shoe box ever since... once replaced it will still go back into the shoe box. Apple should offer a gift card replacement or something. I would rather have like a 20 dollar iTunes gift card rather than an old nano. But whatever.

I got the nano with the metal front and back..does that qualify??

 

[jmb1523]

I'm pretty sure it does.

 

[coolgraymemo]

I can't find mine 

 

[rsdplaya]

It's funny to think of them having all these olddddddd Nano's just stored.

 

[nktran001]

PFT.

 

[gsgoonsquad]

I have mine somewhere, just have to look threw some things to find it. I already have 3 ipods I use regularly but wouldn't mind throwing this one back in the rotation

I can't tell if it's supposed to be a current model or just a new old one 

"receive a free current model"

"be a replacement first-generation iPod nano rather than a current model."

no it does not. They had a plastic front and a metal back. They only came in black or white
But I find it hard to believe they have that many first gen ipods hanging around. I'm 99% we are gonna get the current model

this has nothing to do with "customer loyalty."

so you're saying companies shouldnt recall their products when they discover "SAFETY issues"?

seriously?

if anything, they're covering themselves from lawsuits if something does happen when Apple knows about the defect.

No....Just dont think its worth the time/money to recall the 1st gen nano 6 yrs down the road...like anyone uses it anyway..

i kno its better to be SAFE than SORRY but i mean whats the likelihood..jus saying..

 

[caput]

It's all about liability. Apple is putting this offer out there and where or not the people take advantage of it is up to them. That's very little effort on Apples's part because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that hardly "use it anyway" like you said and won't take the time to fill out the form, wait for the shipping materials, ship it out and wait for the replacement. In the end it will probably be much cheaper to replace these than have to settle lawsuits with people.
