This is actually quite an old story. I own an iPod and it hasn't exploded.
Apart from the the iPods, I'm not a fan of Apple in general. But if you ask me, this is just a sensationalized isolated incident. No one writes articles about exploding cellphones, TV's, irons, etc etc

Last week in the UK quick-thinking dad Ken Stanborough threw his 11 year-old daughter’s iPod touch out the back door of his house when he noticed a hissing noise and condensation. Within seconds the device exploded, jumping three metres into the air.

In July Apple warned that its new iPhone 3G S gets hot during usage and has issued a warning against leaving it inside cars in hot weather. The new device will throw up a temperature warning if it overheats.

Reminds me reading something about Nokia N97 phone charger melting
