Replacements for First-Gen iPod Nano Models at Risk of Overheating Now Arriving

Late late week, Apple announced a worldwide replacement program for owners of the first-generation iPod nano. The program was instituted due to battery issues that could cause the devices to overheat and in extreme cases catch fire.

While Apple officially notes that it may take up to six weeks for customers to receive their replacement devices, some users are reporting that their replacements have already arrived. And while some had hoped that Apple might offer newer-generation iPod nano models given a potential shortage of units that officially went out of production nearly five years ago, the replacement units are indeed still first-generation iPod nanos.

According to one customer who received a replacement, the new unit is an exact duplicate of his original iPod nano in terms of color and capacity, although it feels brand-new without the wear and tear of five or six years' worth of use. Apple is almost certainly utilizing refurbished units for the replacements, but Apple's standard refurbishment program includes the use of brand-new batteries and outer shells to make the devices appear and function as new.
I wanted to pass along some info about the iPod Nano exchange program Apple started over the weekend. I just received the replacement and it is an exact replacement. No upgrade. Same capacity and everything. The only upside is that it is "new" (probably refurbished), so it's clean in comparison to my old one.
The replacement iPod nano units come with a 90-day warranty, offering users a chance to make sure that they are operating properly upon receipt. As evidenced by the units coming through already, they should be essentially identical to customers' original devices, although Apple notes that any personalization on the original devices will not be included on the replacements.




Real Swagg, a real watch

Thanks for this heads up, OP. i gave my old nano to my son who regularly uses it and bought another 1st gen model for my daughter. only problem is i got skin-it decals for both of them. i wonder if they'd replace those too?

Just be patient....I requested mine about the same time....just got it yesterdaySMH...all it is, is a ups label and a clear bag...pretty lame stall tactic if you ask me...-sf77
 
i requested on nov. 13th, and when i didn't receive a package, i called. they told me i'd get mine in 3 weeks, but they ended up getting it to me within a couple of days.
currently my status on apple.com is:

November 30, 2011: Product replacement pending

looks to be taking a while, me thinks. demand must be pretty overwhelming.
 
Is this one the non colored version? I know someone with one but it doesn't have color nor does it play video. Are the SOL?
