All the hype of the newest iPod seems to show that it is a flawless piece of technology but many problems have been occurring with the newest device and the public is not pleased.

Some owners of the Nano complain that the screens scratch, crack and break all within the first couple of hours of owning the product.

"I could not wait to get my Nano for Christmas, and then a week later the screen was completely scratched." Melanie Radolec said, "I even had an iPod Sleeve for it, which I had to purchase separately, and carried it in my purse, because face it, where are girls who wear skirts suppose to keep an iPod?"

Buyers of the Nano are not pleased, and Apple has started to have lawsuits filed against them.

According to Dark Vision Hardware, "Last week consumers filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit against Apple, claiming the world's largest producer of portable music players knowingly manufactured, marketed and distributed defective iPod Nanos.  Apple wanted to make the Nano so small and durable that they seemed to spare any cost." 

Defects have affected buyers in America as well as Europe and Mexico.  "Apple Computer customers in Mexico and the United Kingdom have joined the legal crusade to make the Silicon Valley company pay for allegedly defective screens on new iPod Nano music players,"                 

According to Newsfactor Magazine Online:  "Apple ignored flaws in the screen so that they could market them in time for the holiday season." 

BBC news reports that Apple admits, "a manufacturing problem has left screens on one batch vulnerable to cracks and is offering replacements."
