Is Apple Hiding Problems with Fiery iPods?

Apple iPods have overheated and burst into flames and smoke on a number of occasions, causing both injuries and property damage. And Apple has fought to keep federal government reports of these incidents from becoming public, according to a Seattle TV station. KIRO-TV posted a story on its website Wednesday that details its investigation into a series of fiery iPod episodes that have affected numerous users across the US. In some cases the overheated iPods, including recent Shuffle and Nano models, have even burned their owners.
