Japan investigates possible iPod defect

Meanwhile, NY Governor has a completely unrelated defect

Japan is investigating a possible defect in Apple Inc.’s iPod Nano after one of them reportedly overheated and shot out sparks, much like Eliot Spitzer’s pants. 

It was still unclear where else besides Japan the suspected model was sold although so-called models tend to be sold all over the world, including in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. 

The iPod problem arose in January.  Governor Spitzer reportedly arose numerous times.
