Let me give you some scratch!

Oh my GOD! The cute and wonderfully beautiful iPod Nano has dermatological
problems! There are some Nano owners complaining that the screen easily gets
scratches! Good thing (and I hope the Philippines is included), Apple has
promised that they will replaced Nanos that have factory defect just like
easily scratchable screens.

Additionally, Apple acknowledges that the screens on some Nanos have cracked
and has agreed to replace the models with new units. The company says it
hasn't received many complaints about scratches. "We do not believe it's a
widespread issue," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said Wednesday.

Dowling says the plastic shell of the Nano is made from the same material
used on other recent iPods. He suggests that if users are concerned about
scratching, they should buy one of the many Nano cases that will soon be
available. Apple attributes the cracked-screen problem to a vendor defect
affecting "less than one-tenth of 1%" of Nano shipments.
