[読んだ] iPod touch, iPhone 3G explode; Apple demand confidentiality before refund - SlashGear

Cue the usual “Apple’s gadgets are hot property” puns and “so cool they’re burning up” jokes; two Apple devices have reportedly combusted or exploded, with the company allegedly requiring one owner to sign a gagging-agreement before paying out compensation.  In Liverpool, UK, a teenage girl’s iPod touch exploded, having first hissed violently and increased in temperature, while in Leiden, Netherlands, an iPhone 3G caught fire and burnt through a car seat.

The iPod touch first “made a hissing noise” says Ken Stanborough, the father of the PMP’s teenage owner, before “getting hotter in my hand, and I thought I could see vapour”.  After throwing the iPod out of his back door, “within 30 seconds there was a pop, a big puff of smoke and it went 10ft in the air.”  The Dutch iPhone 3G was more contained, being locked inside a car at the time of its combustion; its owner returned to find the car filled with thick black smoke and with considerable damage to the seat the smartphone had been left on.
