iPod Nano Catches Fire While Owner Snoozes

iPod Nano Catches Fire While Owner Snoozes

One of the more popular accessories out there for the iPod is the alarm clock dock, letting you charge your player while you sleep and wake up in style to any of your digital tunes. However, one owner of an iPod Nano found that he didn't need any such accessory for his gadget to wake him up rather abruptly at 2:00 am -- the fire alarm it kicked off after it burst into flames took care of that.

The alarm jolted the owner out of bed, who found his formerly pocketable player burning on the floor of his bedroom. The fire was extinguished and no further property was destroyed, nor injuries caused, but it's yet another disturbing case of a gadget battery gone bad.
