Nanos Sell Out; Xbox 360s Overheat
As I predicted, the Apple Nano iPod is proving to be the Christmas season's big winner. Don't take my word for it, let the numbers do the talking.
Here's hoping, meanwhile, that you skipped the Xbox 360 launch. The new console, essentially available only on eBay and at astronomically high prices, apparently doesn't work properly. Reports of units overheating and numerous software glitches are flooding the Internet.
Microsoft is attempting to spin the trouble as only "isolated" incidents. Did the company rush the launch? You be the judge.
What do I think? I suspect the folks at Edelman Seattle are going to be busier than they anticipated the next few weeks.

And now someone's filed a lawsuit. An Illinois man claims the Xbox 360 has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and then stop working.
The suite, which seeks class-action status, alleges that Microsoft released "defective designed" product in an attempt to beat rival consoles to the market.
