iPod Nano Explodes During Charge

It seems like every month a new gadget goes up in flames. This month it's an iPod nano that was caught exploding while being charged via a PC. The owner says that the force sent his iPod flying to the ground, where it started smoking and sparking until it was unplugged. Unfortunately, the iPod was out of warranty, so the owner wasn't able to get an immediate replacement. I've had my iPod Nano for a long time now and never has it heated up, so we have to take this one with a grain of salt, but you can never be too wary when charging your gadgets.

My God, that iPod Nano looks seriously melted down...

Yeah, that happened to the battery for my Airsoft gun. One of the cells in the battery probably died so it could've overcharged.
