iPod

I've had my iPod video for about a year no freezes or other problems. Chloe is defiantly right about getting a case as soon as possible because it's essential, especially when you're spending $400+ on an mp3 player. The only real problem is that the battery eventually dies and you have to pay almost the same price of a new iPod to get a new battery.
Problem after problem

After 2 months the iPod video started to freeze. At first it was whil playing a song. Then after a week, it stopped turning on. I have to keep taking it back to the store to get it fixed. THIS SUCKS!
iLove my iPod.

I received an iPod video as a gift about a month ago, updating from a mini. I'm so happy with my video, everything is really easy to do.. photos, movies, its awesome. The back does get scratched pretty easily so buy a case/skin for it as soon as you can. Or just use the pouch that it comes with.
I definately recommend it to anyone who is even thinking of buying one!
Terrible Product

I first got a Shuffle a while back and was happy with it. After about 7 months, a connection came loose and the Ipod stopped playing in one ear. (And yes, it was the Ipod, not the headphones). Good thing was it was still within the 1 year warranty. This time I took it back and upgraded to an Ipod 30Gb video at the same time. Guess what, 1 year, 2 weeks later... same problem!!! The Ipod only played in one ear! The problem this time was Apple or Future Shop wouldn't exchange the Ipod since it was 'Out of Warranty'. I talked with Future Shop about options to get it fixed, and found out it would cost at least $80, if not more. There was no way I was paying over $80 to get a small connection problem fixed, so knowing a decent amount about electronics and being an engineer, I decided to try to fix it myself. Bad idea, because Ipods are built to never come apart, and in the process I ruined my screen (flooded).
The Ipods may have the features and the style, but whatever happened to just having a well built product that will last over a year? I highly suggest not buying into the trend, do some research and find a music player that is well designed, rather than just being prone to 'feature creep' and style.
