Uh oh, those Gen 1 nano batteries ARE bad
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — OK, we gave Consumerist guy a bit of sass when he said his iPod Nano blew up and almost burned his neighborhood down.  Turns out he might have had something there.  Apple today admitted that a very small percentage of Gen 1 nanos might have a defective battery:  "Apple has determined that in very rare cases batteries in first generation iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 can overheat causing failure and deformation of the iPod nano.

Apple Will Replace Sparking iPod Nanos
Cult of Mac — First generation iPod nano customers who have experienced their battery overheating should contact AppleCare for a replacement, the company said today, after scattered reports of some devices with battery problems that cause them to give off smoke or sparks. Apple’s statement put the number of affected units at less than 0.001 percent of the devices, which were first released in September 2005. The problem units have been traced back to a single battery supplier. There have been no reports of serious injuries or property damage, and no reports of incidents for any other iPod nano model.
