    Yes iPods suck, they are overrated and very fragile but that doesnt make all Apple products suck. I mean Macs totally rape PCs.

    I use to have a Rio Nitrus 1.5gb MP3 player and bought an extended warranty with it last year. I dropped it and it screwed the harddrive. I brought it back and instead they replaced it with a Creative Zen Micro. I mean its wayyyyy better, it has 5gb which is more than enough, it has a slick design, long battery life, fast charge, comes with a sort of plastic dock thigny, an ugly case but its still a case, earbuds that are better than iPod's, a charger that you can take off the jack to reveal an european male jack and even has a sweet glow. You can even buy more batteries because you can replace them.

    If this one ever breaks on me, my extended warranty is for 3 years and its barely been a year and I'll be replacing it free of charge and by the time it breaks for the same price there will be even better ones.

    I don't know about you, but my iPod is fine. I never had any problems with it or anything. Maybe you have bad luck or your iPod doesn't like you.

    I wouldn't say Apple suck, most of my friends have iPods and they are quite fragile but I wouldn't say rubbish. It has a really cool way of selecting songs. And my mum absolutely bums Macs and I think they are made by Apple.

    I think ipods are pretty nice but recently I bought an used ipod from a friend and this was about a month ago. It stopped working when it dropped from my bed which is maybe 1 feet from carpet floor >.> I went to see if apple can fix it but a miracle happened! I got a brand new one! I was like hurray! *dances* But 2 days later I dropped it when I was walking and no scratches on it since I bought the ipod 30 dollar case and now the ipod keeps freezing when I use it. The case was suppose to protect the screen and the hard drive inside from getting messed up from accidents like this but I guess not in this case... ^_^ Anyways I don't know if I can get another replacement. This seriously sucks...

    I got an iPod Shuffle (1 GB) for daily running and I have had no problems with it. The thing is nice and small, and extremely easy to run with, being .78 ounces. There is no LCD screen, but I don't need one for my purposes. Maybe the bigger iPods with more storage have different problems, but my Shuffle is just what I wanted.

    I've droped my iPod a couple times and have had no problems with it. Dropped it out of my locker which is a pretty far drop, don't know how it survived and out of my car.
