Apple issued a recall on the 1st generation iPod nano back in mid-November and while many had probably requested a shipping box almost immediately, Apple appeared to be taking some time in getting those boxes sent out and the replacement units sent back. But that aside, we can now say with certainty that Apple is more »

Like David Hasselhoff, Amazon’s MP3 store will become huge in Germany according to a new survey. The survey asked which company would broadband users want to download music from. Choices included Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. Those surveyed were all about Amazon. Also, if you bought an Insigna television, you may be affected by a recall. Faulty power supplies could lead to fires.

Yet another case of the few ruining it for the many. Due to “at least 40″ reports of laptop batteries overheating and causing fires as well as potential property damage, Sony is recalling 35,000 Lithium Ion batteries in the US and another 65,000 in other countries. In a stroke of genius, none of these batteries were actually put in Sony laptops. Instead, most of them (32,000) are in HP Pavilion dv model and Compaq laptops, and to a lesser extent Toshiba Satellite and Tecra laptops (3,000) and only 150 Dell Latitude and Inspiron laptops. The batteries were made way back in October 2004 to June 2005.

This story is a little sketchy at best, but it seems that some of the team behind the MSI Wind may have been doing a little playing around during the process of building out the disk image. According to the details, some of the initial shipping delays that we saw with the Wind were caused by the fact that screener copies of movies along with some personal family photos found their way onto the netbooks. According to the reports the hidden files are “mostly corrupt” and need some extra effort in order to be played or viewed. Still playable or not, movies can take up a decent amount of space, anyone with an MSI Wind may want to do some digging around and check for some large files. You may be able to free up some precious hard drive space.

When I was at CES last January, I had a very friendly salesperson introduce me to the Neonode N2. I was amazed at this tiny device that was about the size of a flip-top cigarette lighter, and yet it was a phone.

It wasn’t just any phone, but the kind with a full touchscreen interface. All interaction with the screen is done with the user’s thumb, and in addition to the phone, there is email, camera, and calculator options. So I guess the best description of the product would be a one-handed iPhone.

Unfortunately, it may be quite a while before you can get a hold of one, because the company is recalling them. Not just the ones that have problems, but all of them. Apparently, the N2 is having reception problems of some kind.
