Site catalogs iPod nano LCD flaw

Several iPod nano owners are reporting inexplicable screen failures within the first few days of owning the music player. The affected screens appear to be cracked, but owners cannot recall any events that would lead to such damage. In the cases cataloged by flawedmusicplayer.com, no impact marks are visible on the cracked displays. Most users report leaving their Nano in a pocket for an extended period of time, and discovering a destroyed display when they remove the device to use it. It is unclear if a design flaw, poor manufacturing, or something else is to blame for the seemingly delicate display. iPod repair company iPodResQ reports a temporary price increase on its iPod nano screen replacement service due to "overwhelming demand."
