Well I bet a good hacker could do the same with almost any device connected to a battery. From what he described even 3DS and PS Vita could be potential targets. Also reading the first page of the article you linked to the guy clearly states he hasn't been able to get a laptop to explode yet.
I'm pretty sure similiar devices could also have their batteries remotley shut down.. Though Apple using the same two passwords on every device makes the hack very easy. Oh well lets just hope hackers stick to blowing up or wrecking Apple devices and not move on to really important devices like 3DS or Vita's!
