Nano does a Nokia

The ultimate perfections have always proved to be otherwise no matter how marginally. Same has happened with an ipod in Japan.In January an ipod (model number MA099J/A) from a series "nano" that has long been discontinued in japan emitted sparks while charging and happens to contain the same type of batteries(lithium ion) that were replaced by Nokia in INDIA last year when few handsets started getting extremely hot while charging.
Though the ipod in question was fairly old Apple japan is investigating into the matter, as there are about 425,000 ipods sold with same model number.With no injuries being reported it is clear that the incident was a minor one.Japan's trade ministry has launched a safety investigation and results will be out in few days.
