In response to a request from the Japanese government, Apple is getting ready to place a safety warning on it's Japanese websites about the dangers of early iPod Nano music players.
These players date back to 2005 and 2006. Over sixty are known to have overheated causing mild burns to users. Although Apple has already posted a warning regarding battery replacement, it is not easy to find on their website. The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has been in talks with Apple since last year in order to get them to make the warning more noticeable.
The ministry said 1.8 million first-generation iPod Nano players have been sold in Japan, but it is unclear how many of those have the problem battery
The safety notice only applies to the older model iPod Nanos, and, as yet, the warning only applies to Japan. Whether or not it will be extended to other countries in the future has not been mentioned.

All you have to do is use the Spotlight search, which can quickly find the right song or contact that you want. To save you even more time, you can also redefine you iPad Home button. By default, the home button takes you to the home screen. Instead, you can change it to bring up the Spotlight search so that you can find your song or contact fast when you're in a hurry. A final time saver is the use of suggestions. When you type, your iPad tries to guess the word you're typing. Just tap the space bar to use the Suggestion and this can save you time when you're typing plenty of text.

While the vast majority of us will use the iPad for watching movies, reading books, and social networking, the iPad could cure some serious data management issues in the medical field. With most hospitals moving away from paper records and complicated software systems, an easy to use platform would speed up patient record access for doctors and nurses. The iPad is the perfect tool. With its voice recording ability and its phone capability, one can well imagine its value for dictating medical information and sending prescriptions and files at the touch of a button, or is that a swipe of the finger?
While most of us have seen a host send our food order to the kitchen, the iPad could also be used as a visual and perhaps interactive restaurant menu. Maybe customers could also spy into the kitchen and see their meal being prepared. That would be a wake up call for the improvement in kitchen standards.
And last but not least, the Wall Street Journal has already announced an iPad subscription service. It certainly beats trying to read your online newspaper on a small iPhone screen.
These and other iPad application developments are coming to an Apple store near you.
We would love to hear of any other business uses for the iPad that you know about.
