Bad batteries: Apple forced to recall 1st gen iPod nano in South Korea

Finally, Apple is forced to recall some of the iPod. I wonder if they will be forced to recall some of the iPhones as well.

Doubt it. The overheating issue with the iPhone has been blown out of proportion as confirmed cases are less then .. like 20. The case changing color issue actually had nothing to do with heat. It was proven that it was some 3rd party cases causing the discoloration and rubbing alcohol took it off.

They don't even make that model of iPod anymore.

At first they thought the discoloration on the back was from contact with a 3rd party case, and now they think it's because the battery overheats. If I'm not mistaken Apple technicians advise that the discoloration could be fixed by rubbing with alcohol. The blog "Nowhere Else" is constantly under criticism for issuing all kinds of statements that turn out not to be true.

Also, I'm pretty sure Apple advises AGAINST heavy use of the device when it is charging.

"At the time, she was using a game and then the Web browser over a Wi-Fi connection with the device plugged in......"

30 million iPhones out there, they are not going to recall them all because a few people on a message board report overheating, especially using the device against manufacture warning.
