Re: Do you have an iPod or have you considered buying one?

2003-12-22 by Mark

The problem is that this kid used his iPod every day for hours and 
Lord only knows how many times he re-charged it.  The average user 
might get 3 - 4 (or more) years of life from an iPod (more than most 
people get from their Walkman, Discman, or their outdated Rio mp3 
player they bought several years ago) so in my opinion he does not 
represent the general population. 

Yeah, it sucks to know the battery will crap out.  But Apple will 
fix it for free if it happens in a year or you can buy an extended 
warranty.  Honestly though, I think after a few years most people 
will buy a new one, like getting a new cell phone.  Their becoming 
commodity (cell phones AND mp3 players).
