Exploding iPods: A Public Service Announcement

I've read just now from a news article (link below) of an account of somebody's iPhone exploding in his face. It has been reported that similar occurrences have happened to iPods. This scared me, because I've been an iPod owner for almost a year. But the news article explained that the explosions are probably caused by overheated lithium batteries, which probably means that the iPods that exploded were probably overcharged.

Therefore, I advise fellow iPod users (iPhone users included) to check your devices when charging them. Be sure to unplug or disconnect them once they are fully charged to avoid overheating them.
