Streaming Netflix arrives for iPhone, iPod touch

The screen size of an iPod Touch or iPhone might not measure up to that of iPad, but at least those without an iPad don’t have to have Netflix envy any longer. The streaming movie and DVD rental service has released a version of its popular app that works on iPod Touch and iPhone, too.

Apple's Japanese unit has offered to replace its first-generation iPod nano music player in the event of it overheating after reports of fires led to criticism from the government in Tokyo.
     
       Apple confirmed "very rare cases of overheating" in the battery of the iPod nano sold between September 2005 and December 2006, which distorted the shape of the device or made it unuseable, the company said on its website.
     
       It offered to replace affected units, adding that concerned customers using the first-generation iPod nano can now get the battery replaced, it said on its Japanese-language website.
