ipods
My friend bought an Ipod here for 450 bucks canadian, and he used it for about a month or two. Just a few days ago he dropped it less than a foot on hardwood floor and it broke. The screen smashed and the hard drive thing is rattling around inside there.[:@]I'm angey because if you drop it it's not covered by warranty. Any suggestions or personal experience?

RE: ipods
I dropped mine on a concrete floor and it landed on a rock. The back has a dent in it, but thats all that was wrong with it. It didn't even skip, it just kept chugging along. I've read alot of reviews on every generation, and I've never heard of them "always breaking." I have a hard time believe that the screen smashed and the hard drive mounts are broke from dropping it less than a foot. I dropped mine from probably close to 4 foot off the ground and nothing is wrong with it. It still plays just fine. In fact, I trust mine enough Im gonna go drop it on my counter top from a foot, just to see and my counter is the only thing harder than a hardwood floor in my house.

RE: ipods
I have a suggestion... Don't drop it. Or if you dislike Ipods because they do not have warrantys I would suggest not buying one. Unless you have of those new cars where you can plug them in they are pretty much useless anyway. Good luck with it

RE: ipods
i bought an ipod, absolutely love it. been real durable for me, and my whole family has one, no problems at all. a lot of my friends have em, none of them have had any problems.
about the car thing, if you have one of those adapters where you put a tape in the tape player than plug it in, or there is a car adapter thing, then there is the radio station thing too. i use it when im working, walking, driving, going on long trips, when im mowin the lawn, doin chores, walking the dog, i use it all the time! totally worth the money.
