iPod Battery Warning!

Just a brief report for anyone in Japan who is finding that their iPod batteries are over-heating. A recent government report there is warning that these batteries may pose a fire hazard (in fact there has been a report that two people in Japan have suffered minor burns).

Just so you know, Apple Japan are offering to replace faulty batteries:

“We will replace batteries of the first-generation iPod nanos with new ones if customers find that the batteries overheat“

So when you next do a recharge just check to see if it is overheating. Its not clear whether this problem is likely to affect batteries in other countries - so its probably a good idea for us all to do this check!

Hopefully this post can help avoid injury - but don’t be surprised if you can’t get a refund or replacement if the battery proves faulty. Reports are that Apple is less than enthusiastic in its after-sales service.

The widget we are posting here is a great tool for quickly finding and listening to music from around the internet. You can search for and listen to music from the widget below.

OR, if you want to watch videos of your favorite musicians then you can do this from the SeeqPod site.

And when you are out of touch - and with your iPodTouch - you can simply point it to their iPod-enabled site to find and listen to the music you love.

Feedback reported on the site is pretty impressive. Some examples:

“I’ve never used a site so much. I enjoy this so much. It works so much better than iTunes because you can find so [much] different stuff like remixes. I love it. Keep being amazing.” -E.B.

“I was the Lead Software Engineer with another Bay Area search startup and I’m relatively in touch with the state-of-the art in Search. I don’t see much that surprises me anymore, but your site blew me away. WOW! Very impressive.” -A.R

Free iPod Downloads

The latest news is not good for iPod owners. How many of us have music downloaded to our iPod that some may argue are illegal copies?

According to breaking news from the Guardian, these songs may mean we have to leave our iPod behind when we travel - at least through international airports:

The heads of the G8 governments, meeting this week, are about to ratify the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta), which - it’s claimed - could let customs agents search your laptop or music player for illegally obtained content.

What they will do if they do find illegal music is not yet clear. But when you consider the recently published University of Hertfordshire study that revealed that the average teenager and student (14 to 24 year olds) have over 800 illegal songs on their MP3, it is clear that this new agreement will certainly keep customs agents very busy!

Looks like the queues at international airports are going to get a lot longer!
