If you still have a first generation iPod nano, Apple has issued a recall. You can exchange it for a brand new one.

I have one that my wife won from some contest with IRC back when we went to state. It stopped working years ago but luckily I didn't trash it.

I'll post back if this works for me.

I'd rather have a 5th gen as a replacement than a 6th gen... but I guess the 6th gen is better than the first.

I did not know about this. Thanks for the heads up!

Damn, I used to have a first gen at one point. I think I eventually gave it to someone when I switched to running with a shuffle.

Sweet! I found our old 1st gen.

new ipod nano came in today. Ten days from mailing out the old one. Not bad.

Although I thought it would come in regular packaging though so I could sell it easily. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.
