DON'T BUY AN IPOD DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT UNRELIABLE PIECE OF CRAP
no, i'm serious. my third ipod just died, and let me tell you it's not my third because i was so impressed with the product that i just had to get another. first one lasted about 4 months. second one about 3 months. the one that just died about 5 months. this is fucking insane. do not buy an ipod, just don't fucking do it. they are not in any way built to last so you might as well tack that extra $60 for the extended 2-year warranty on to the price because trust me brother, if you buy one you're damn well gonna need it.
