For all you people that own IPODS, just in case you didn't know. If you buy one, you should get the extra protection warranty they offer. Why, you ask? Because the battery on an IPOD only lasts about a year or less. Also, i was told if you plug it in car or computer, you only get 200 uses out of it. I found this out the hard way. My IPOD lasted 7mos. no warranty. It is going to cost me around $56 for a new one. In my book, it's not worth it, cuz i have to send it out to replace battery also. I'm mad as heck about it. I know I won't be buying a new bigger one for this reason. I was going to buy the 30gb one, not anymore. It just isn't worth spending $300 on something that doesn't even last 1 year. :o

i've had a 30 gig for about 5 months now and im yet to have a problem with it. we'll have to wait and see

I just buy generic, makes more sense.

 

Then again I couldnt give two flying Menkeys about Video.

Sansa E260 ftw.

 

I am not an Ipod fan but thanks for teh Info.

Hmm, I've had the one my wife got me (the version with the buttons not on the wheel) for a few years now. I think it was Christmas 2003. Still seems to work ok for me at least. I use it at work daily because the hum of the instruments is irritating.

My ipods harddrive just died after 1 year. It won't sync with itunes properly and I can't add/delete songs. Good news is american express offers an additional year of warranty coverage, so I got my money back and can get a video.

I've had mine for... almost 2 years now? (I think). It's still working fine .

I have 2 of em, had a problem with one and apple replaced it right away.

$60 bucks for the 3 year extended warrenty is worth it though.

I've wanted an Ipod for awhile all i have is a 7 year old Diamond Rio it'll hold 2 hours music after I up'd its memory, an its still going strong so I guess it can wait :o

Heh I can't say I wouldn't mind a better one, but mine does fine. I have one of the old obesee iPod's lol, not the new nano's or anything .

 

Oh and I have nearly 5 days worth of music on mine...

ipod sucks, get an mp3 player

I use a portable MiniDisc player on my car for two years and never had a problem with it.

my woman works at radioshack and she was told, if no warranty or warranty expires it is $35 per technical call for ipod difficulties.....talk about zero customer service for people who already paid for the product
