My nano still works with ipod touch 2nd generation's battery, battery lasts longer.
Apple recently removed its first-generation iPod nano replacement program from its support website, over five years after it started.
MacRumors contacted a few Apple Authorized Service Providers that confirmed the program has indeed ended, and we were advised to contact Apple directly. Apple's support team initially informed us the program is no longer in place, but a senior AppleCare advisor honored the program after we escalated our request.
In other words, if you still have a twelve-year-old iPod nano, you may be in luck still, but it could take some persistence to reach the right person.
The replacement program was launched worldwide in November 2011 after Apple determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the first-generation iPod nano may overheat and pose a safety risk. The manufacturing defect is limited to iPod nano models sold between September 2005 and December 2006.

They took the serial number down and submitted for replacement with beats. I'm happy with that though. 7th gen here goes for roughly $179...beats valued at $320. Works for me

Edit: that was with being transferred through to a senior rep as well.
The rep wouldnt replace the Nano as they no longer offered the program even though I said they were allowing it down in the states for some consumers. Due to that reason, she offered me free beats of my choice.
She said because the program ended, she was not able to send a nano out. I tried everything I could to get an iPod
Here is my iPod. I use it when running or at the gym. Haven't plugged into my computer for 7 years but the first thing that popped up was the screen to tell me about the recall and replacement. Then I check online to find out it ended almost 45 days ago!!!!!!!
I don't know what happened. I replied but it disappeared. Here's my nano. Or use it when I go running or to the gym. I haven't plugged it in to my computer in 7 years, only charge it with the wall charger. But I decided to reformat it today, only to have a window pop up saying it was part of the recall. Then I check online to find out three call ended 45 days ago!!!!
[doublepost=1488592985][/doublepost]Today is March 4th 2017, just one day after finding out about the recall and that it supposedly had finished. Just took mine into the Apple Store this morning. No problem at all! They'll send the package delivery person to pick mine up tomorrow morning and send me a new one within 6 weeks. The only 2 questions they asked me were "How often do you use it?" To which I answered "Rarely." and "How long have you known about the recall?" to which I answered "One day.". I'm going to miss the little guy but a new iPod is a treat! Thank you Apple and MacRumors!
