iPod Nano Gen1 Recall

Has anyone replaced their Gen1 nano through this recall? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/

Looks like peeps are getting Gen6 replacements now. Going from a 1GB Gen1 to an 8GB Gen6 would be . I just filled out the form, they are going to send me an empty box.

Funny thing is the battery on my gen2 nano only lasted about a year, funny how they aren't going to replace that. However my classic iPod is still going strong 7 years later and has been through hell and back.

6 weeks AFTER you send in your current unit? No big deal unless its the only one you have, like my fiancee who just uses it when she goes to the gym these days

Just submitted the info on mine. I thought they would let me know if it was eligible or not, but they said they are shipping me an empty box. Hopefully that means it qualifies, and I'm not going to return it for nothing.

Thanks doopster!

They wouldn't have proceeded if it wasn't.

I've been using my gen2 nano for ~7 years and it still is going strong, and I use it all the time when I run or work out

Good to hear. That's what I was hoping. I have a 2GB white one that works fine except the battery only lasts about an hour. Looks like people are getting the silver one in exchange.

I just got the confirmation email explaining what to do when the box arrives. I have to ship it to Elk Grove.
I could drive there, pick up a new one and be back home in less than 2 hours.

jupiter, did you get yours yet?
I just noticed the paper they sent with the return package says I will get an email from Apple when they receive my returned ipod. I sent mine back on the 16th I believe. It was a 2 day return, and I haven't gotten any email confirming Apple received it. Did you guys get notice that yours was received?

I still have not gotten mine. They have had it since 13 Jan 2012.


Just off phone. They said about 2 million Nano's to be filled. Running behind, this week should be able to clear up backlog. I'm at the six week mark, so hopefully I get something next week.
