iPod better battery life ==>> more likely to catch fire?...

Does anyone know how high density batteries are tested?

I'm thinking about getting a new iPod but after hearing about the fantastically better battery life - I wonder if they're really pushing the limits...too far...

It was fascinating, the girl I thought would be total weirdo turned out to have the same music as I liked.

I don't mean to rain/drown on the Apple iPod goodness, but as an engineer I gotta leave open the possibility of iPod fires...
