Weird Combo of the Day: Free iPod Nano With Twelve-Pack of Caulk
Oh, caulk! Is there anything you can't do? Not only do you allow us to plug up holes by squirting your oozing, white fluid-like substance all over the place, but you come in a long and pleasing missile shape. And if you get too difficult to clean up after using, all we have to do is cut off a bit of the tip! How convenient. And now you even come with a free iPod nano if we buy 12 of you? C'mon! How can we not love caulk? [Found in Egersund Norway thanks to Erlend]

Exploding iPod Nano Starts Non-Nano Sized Blaze
A user at Niketalk forums posted up these images of an iPod nano that went up in smoke this morning. The forum user, MJair was awoken at 2 a.m. by the fire alarm going off. On a quick panicked inspection of the room, an "orange glow" near his PS3 was seen. That orange glow was nothing less than a fire, approximately a foot wide in length, which was said to be rapidly spreading. Check out more images of the nano wreckage below. More »

iPod Nano Getting Purple Paint Job?
This image from a Circuit City advertisement seems to show the iPod nano dressed up in yet another sickening color—this time deep purple. The advertisement was spotted in a circular today, but we have not seen it for ourselves. Has anyone glimpsed a shot of the picture in question? And do we really need purple to add to the list of nauseating colors the iPod nano already comes in? Sentences ending in questions aside, we have seen the iPod shuffle gain a similar purple treatment, so it does not seem imposible. We'll let you know as soon as we hear any official word on the potential update. [Connection Podcast]

Wildcharge, the device that lets you wirelessly charge your RAZR, has just released new adapters for the iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8800 and 2nd Gen iPod Nano. It still works the same: put the adapter on the back of your phone, place your phone onto the charging pad and wait for the juice to flow. No pricing information on this quite yet, but the old RAZR chargers were $34 (or $89 for the pad and the charger together). [WildCharge]

The Pinkest iPod nano?
Thinking about getting a pink iPod nano, but want the absolute pinkest piece of iPod money can buy? Balls-out pink lovers should try to scrounge up a 2nd gen nano, while someone looking for a subdued, less intensely pink experience can walk into an Apple Store and buy the latest bubblegum flavor.

Apple Lets You Keep iTunes Video Rentals Longer Than 24 Hours, No Hacks Required
Okay, so we tried basically every way we could think of to warp, twist and otherwise hack the laws of iTunes rentals time and space in order to give you guys more than 24 hours to finish a flick. Turns out, no black magic is needed. Apple knows an exact, single day just isn't enough (Hollywood's a bitch), and they've actually built in an extension—at least on an iPod nano. More »

Greenhouse FM Transmitter Brings Music Streaming to Your Obese iPod nano
The fat, fun-loving iPod nano just got music streaming capabilities, all thanks to the Greenhouse FM transmitter. The streaming device looks rather swank, and is available in five complementing colors, including metallic black, silver, red, green and blue. It will allow you to chuck out your tunes to any free radio station, by tuning the transmitter into the free station using the plus and minus buttons either side of the display. More »

Green House is set to launch a compact speaker set / case for the third generation iPod nano. The case will be a plastic crystal enclosure, and the speakers will rotate out from the back. We are suckers for good design, and the PR shot makes it look quite funky.

Scale is everything: We knew iriver's Wing touchscreen UMPC was seriously compact, but didn't know just how small it was. It's still a complete prototypeâyou're looking at dumb plastic, and the top half even sorta fell off the hingeâbut we convinced them to pull it out of the glass case so we could do a quick sizemodo. We just hope it actually comes out at this size.

After seeing the sexy press shot of iriver's new flash-based Aplayer (which also crams in voice recording and an FM tuner), we totally couldn't resist making the iriver guys pull it out of the case to stack up to a 2nd-gen nano we had on hand. Results? Judge for yourself.

So there you are, a kid who just lost his entire house in the recent Southern California wildfires. What would be at the top of your wishlist? A new house? Returning to a sense of normalcy? All your old possessions that are now irretrievably torched? Sorry, no can do. How's about we just give you a free iPod nano and use you as a PR tool, would that help? No? Just take the damn Nano kid, and smile for the cameras. There we go. Good luck with that whole house thing.

After the thrill of unboxing your new iPod nano is over, you are left with a clear plastic case that will undoubtedly take millennia to biodegrade. Thanks to the folks at Bird Electron, turning your case into a fully functioning speaker kit takes all of five seconds, a boon for the environmentally conscious yet lazy and unskilled person. The kit works with 3rd generation nano cases, and the speaker fits neatly inside. After that, all you need to do is plug and play. 2100 yen ($20). [Product Page via Trends in Japan]

explosive news
Danny Williams's iPod nano gave him the hot pants, shooting flames out of his pocket and up to chest height. Lucky for him, there was a thick piece of paper in his pocket that shielded him enough to keep him from getting singed balls. Good thing it didn't burst into flames at some inopportune moment, setting his house afire or worse. Apple says it will replace the explosive nano, but wouldn't say if this problem was widespread. Our fave part of this video is when the newsreader calls it a "nanna." [WSBT]

An Australian bank is using the price of 4GB iPod nanos in 55 countries as an economic indicator. In Brazil, it costs $369.61; in France it costs $225.82, and in the US it costs $149. Supposedly this shows a weak US dollar; all I see is that Brazilians are getting the shaft. [Reuters]
