Uh-oh! Global safety panic alert!
Japan’s trade ministry has pressed the big, red EMERGENCY button in its offices, after receiving reports that an iPod nano’s battery started to give off “sparks” while it was being charged.

Shiny Video Preview: Samsung YP-S2 pebble MP3 players
Last night Zara and I went along to the Samsung 2008 product showcase, where we feasted our eyes on all the products…we’d already covered. Still, it was news to the print media journalists there, and there were even a couple of new toys we hadn’t seen nor heard of yet.
The YP-S2 MP3 players are bizarre little pebble-shaped devices, quite similar to the Creative Zen Stones, and will…

The fallout from the earth-shattering iPhone SDK revelations continue, with independent developer Gameloft revealing its iGaming plans.
And it has a lot of plans. 15 plans. 15 plans for 15 separate iPhone games scheduled for 2008 – but the only one confirmed so far is Bubble Bash to the left there.
Gameloft’s been pushing mobile phone gaming…
Has Apple leaked a new iPhone design via their Apple Store?
Buried within the new Apple store amongst all the iPhone and iPod Touch software, this new device has popped up, leading many to speculate whether it’s a leaked new iPhone design, or something more sinister, like a…Newton?
The eagle-eyed folks at iLounge, who first pondered on the device, have lead a discussion as to just what the image could suggest, whether it’s merely a Photoshopped image to represent the iPhone and iPod Touch together, or if it is indeed a leaked new design.
Several readers over at the site…

Tech Digest Unboxed: The Boom Box iLamp from Staples!
Now I’m sure my postman thinks I’m strange. The amount of packages arriving for me in brown envelopes or paper, he must think I’m either a buying a job lot of ‘adult material’ or an ashamed trainspotter! Neither is true, but I am a bit of a geek.
So I’ve been waiting expectantly for this Boom Box iLamp that I spotted in UK stationary chain Staples. It’s a lamp, but also an iPod dock! Perfect for the office wouldn’t you say!
Date confirmed for Creative Zen and Zen Plus MP3 players with inbuilt speakers
We’ve known of this update for a few months now, so it’s refreshing to be able to write the words “THEY’LL BE AVAILABLE FROM MARCH THE 1ST”. That should sate the Creative fanboys’ appetites for a few more weeks, methinks.
As you know, the colourful range will now feature inbuilt speakers so you can annoy everyone within proximity with your incessant death metal. Actually, come to think of it, owners of these Zen Stones will probably be listening to Justin Timberlake, but I’d like to think someone out there is cranking up the Rob Zombie.
The black 2GB model will be £29.99, the 2GB Stone Plus will be available in black, champagne, pink and blue for £37.99 and the 4GB Stone Plus in black will be £49.99. Yes, that’s official – THEY’RE CHEAPER THAN IPOD SHUFFLES. Get…
