Well, my birthday last year. I knew nothing about iriver, iaudio, creative. All i knew was ipod. So, i had saved up and i bought one. I was great, except for the battery life (like 4-5 hours, sometimes 3). After 3 months, the inline remote broke. The connector was dodgy.
Then, after 6 months, the ipod broke. The hard drive was screwed. I got a RMA
Then, 2 weeks later, the ipod broke again. Hard Drive. RMA time.
Then, 2 months later, ipod broke again. Hard Drive.
They were all 3g ipods BTW.
Whats the big deal about the ipod. Maybe i was unlucky, but gee, 3 ipods in 8-9months isnt great. What's the general failure rate for HD players like karma, h320, zen touch etc. 5%? 10%? 2%?
UPDATE: I FORGOT! The power charger thingo broke, and had to be replaced after the second ipod broke down.
