Apple to fix Nano Screens

[mzkhadir]

Sam Wil writes "Apple has acknowledged a flaw in the iPod nano screen that results in cracking, and attributes it to poor vendor quality. The defect affects less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all the nanos that have shipped so far. Apple will replace the screen of affected units for free." From the article: "However, the representative said that the screen-cracking issue is separate from reports that the slim new music player is more easily scratched than prior models. Complaints about both issues surfaced shortly after Apple introduced the flash memory-based Nano earlier this month. 'A few vocal customers are saying their Nano is more susceptible to scratching than prior iPods,' the Apple representative said. Apple said the Nano is made of the same polycarbonate plastic as the fourth-generation iPod and said it does not believe the scratching problem is widespread." You may recall we had a lively discussion about the screen-scratch flaw a short while back.

so that means it affects less than .1% of the nanos? why the hell didn't he just come out and say that instead of making us do math. and it doesnt seem like its only .1% of all the users.

Sounds like what they're reallly saying is that "we know they are all affected but only those persistant bast@4rds who bug us enough will recieve the replacement.".

Let them whine, that means more will be returned and we can pick them up for cheap . I picked up a 4GB black for $180 because it was an return.

Aren't OLED supposed to be paper thin...like those you saw on Minority Report or some futuristic sci-fi movie. You can roll them up and shiz...
