    Where did you bought your Ipod Nano?

    I think my Nano is also qualified, I tried using United States and was forwarded to the fill-up page but did not fill up since I am here in PH. I really hope PH will be included in the list.

    I have an interesting case...

    I actually bought my 1st Gen Nano second hand from someone at PodCentral.

    I hope they don't send the replacement to him by mistake! :)

    EDIT: Seems like the process is for the owner to send the old nano to Apple using packaging material that Apple will send to the owner. Once Apple receives the old unit, a new one will be sent.

    Looks also like the replacement unit will be the same unit, a 1st Gen Nano, as well (but likely refurbished).

    I got mine from Japan. I think the recall is worldwide. A friend of mine who lives in Indonesia, and who also got her Nano in Japan, was informed by an Indonesian reseller that her ipod was qualified for replacement.

    I found my old iPod nano lying around. I had both the black and white ones back then and only the white one survived up to today (the black one was lost).

    Anyway, checked the serial number on the Apple website using US as the country and it asked for my shipping address in the States. Good thing my mom's visiting her aunt tomorrow, I sent the iPod with her and told her about it. I hope it qualifies for a replacement, its gonna be awesome to have a 6 year old iPod new today XD

    Mine is qualified for the replacement program, I hope that the local AASP will extend assistance/support.

    My sister got an email, too, that she's qualified for a replacement (She's based in Singapore).

    I'm wondering if the iPod Nano 3rd Gen will ever get replaced, too, my Nano's battery conked out and overheated after 6 months of use!!!

    i actually still use mine which i bought six years ago. i have a 120 gig ipod as well but i use my first gen ipod nano for running since the nike+ can connect to it. it still works so i never really bothered buying a newer nano. also, it's the nano i used when i finished my marathon several months ago.

    any news where we can have it replaced?
