I had a original iPod nano, in which I used Rockbox; but Apple freely replaced it for 6th Gen nano after several years due to battery issue in the former. 6th Gen doesn't support Rockbox.

My iPod Nano was similarly replaced with a 6G version. However, I also received a cheque for $5 approx. in lieu of an earlier class action lawsuit, which I never banked and still have it somewhere.

Interesting. I'm in India, I think Apple pre-emptively replaced the iPod to prevent it from blowing up (I appreciate it); where as the other benefits from class action suit could be US specific.
