Apple tries to gag customer who reported exploding iPod

iPod could be a dangerous electronic device. Apple's MP3 player can apparently burst into flames or even violently explode.

“Within 30 seconds there was a pop, a big puff of smoke and it went 10ft in the air”

Unfortunately, we may never know what causes the problem, or indeed how dangerous it can be, if Apple's policy is to try to gag customers who are affected by the problem.

iPod is an expensive but well-marketed MP3 player manufactured by Apple. The marketing material doesn't mention the product's most astonishing feature: iPod fireballs.
