Scratching Problems With Apple's iPod Nano
 |
Apple's iPod Nano may be receiving rave reviews, but a slew of Nano owners are complaining about the device's screen getting scratched too easily. Apple's support forum contains several hundred postings discussing the flaw, with some claiming that their Nano's screen is unreadable because of the scratches. The majority of Nano owners made it clear that the device was not treated badly and said pockets, fingernails and soft cloths all caused extreme scuffing. After a great review by Ars Technica at the Nano's launch basically stating the device was indestructible, the revelation that the screen scratches too easily surprises us. We haven't seen one in person yet, but the pictures look pretty bad on some of the devices. |
"I don't really care if the case on my Nano gets scratched but my screen has scratched up so badly that all the images are starting to become distorted," one Nano owner wrote. "I have only carried it in my small pocket in my shorts and nothing is in there to scratch it. I still can't figure how the screen looks like it has been rubbed with sandpaper when the entire time it has been safe in my pocket (with absolutely no items)." In what can be considered more than just a coincidence, several iLoungers report that iPodResQ has raised the price of its iPod nano LCD screen replacement service from $99 to $145. "We are experiencing a temporary price increase on the nano LCD repair due to LCD availability and overwhelming demand," the company states on its website. |
