So My iPod Shuffle Caught Fire…

General, Sharing April 20th, 2009

So yeah. I already have not one, but two iPods…why would I need a new one? Well…

Sad right?

As you can see, this one exploded in my bag. It still works, but it’s unsightly. Which kind of defeats the point of an Apple product, which is supposed to look nice (the justification for the ridiculous price premium).

This works…ONLY if I keep it plugged in. You see, the non-replacable battery has died. It will only work for 3-5 minutes before dying. So it’s a very stylish portable hard disk, essentially. With a screen.

New iPod Nano: Nice right?

Which is why I would like new iPod Nano lah.

Btw: A few of you will probably wonder whether I am eligible to participate since Advertlets is running Ruumz ads. I checked the terms and conditions. Suppliers can. Just to be safe, I also asked the people at Ruumz, and they said can.

So, blog reader, this is where you can help. With just a click and a few keystrokes, you can held amend my misfortunes with my iPod’s so far….read on about this awesome Ruumz thing:

What in the world did you do to your iPods la? Especially the exploded one. That’s scary. Luckily it didn’t burn the whole bag. I guess you’ve been listening to the latest “hot” music eh?
