iPod Shuffle Blinking? It Could Be Bad News!



Stuart J. Johnston from PC World wrote an article on how "Some owners search for help after Apple USB music players flash alternating LEDs and then die.

In part, this is what Stuart had to say:
A single topic on Apple's iPod Shuffle support forum has garnered more than 36,000 visits since late October, according to statistics posted on the forum index page. Dubbed "Green and Orange flashing lights," the thread stretches on for more than 550 posts.

Flashing green and amber lights on the popular gum-pack-size music player indicate that a generic "error" has occurred, according to Apple's documentation. But most of the problem-related posts on the Apple forum are from people whose Shuffles have suddenly died


I wonder if Apple really knew there was a problem. As you look at the picture above (taken from the Apple site) it seems to be indicating that you're going to eventually have a problem when they say: Enjoy uncertainty.
