Batting 0 for 3 on a reliable iPod

12-31-2004

i own three of them. (some of you may be going "hwah?!) purchased in this order with the following problems:
2 gen 10GB (fried firewire resistor) at 13 months after purchase, just when they offered the apple care for the pods it died, currently awaiting 3rd party repair)

1 gen mini
skipping and touchwheel malfuntion (at 9 months it was covered, but the $30 shipping was out of my pocket; bonus it was personalized as a gift and they replaced the unit not repaired bu a brand new one with the engraving)

3 gen 15GB at 10 months the hold button locked and i need to repair it.
(see this for better explaination)

i'm really upset at the continuing trend rather than an improvement. the mini wheel didn't bother me so much as it was new interface but the 3 gen going is really ticking me off as i can't use it unless i'm hardwired into the computer.
