At the Apple Store...

To get my iPod touch replaced...FOR THE FOURTH TIME.
I purchased this 32GB Third gen last november. I just had it replaced fewer than two weeks ago. I'm back in because the screen has grey lines running down the right side.

Let's list what each iPod had go wrong:


Dock connecter pulled out in my cable.(lasted from Nov '09 to April '10
Screen Went solid white April '10 to may '10
Headphone Jack May '10 to August '10
Screen Has grey lines <2weeks from above.


Anybody else have terrible luck like this?

Being the geek I am, I baby my device. I know people who treat their iPods like crap and they don't stop working...

I've got a first gen iphone that worked perfectly for 2 years, then I stepped on it and broke the screen. the LCD only lights up white, but eveything else works. my Alpine deck in my truck has the ipod connector so I plug it in there and search through songs from the deck, and it still works great lol. though the battery doesn't hold a charge worth a sh*t anymore

I have a 3 year old 8gb Nano (first of the bigger ones.. 3rd gen I think).

The wheel is starting to get a little slow (have to click hard, etc) but otherwise no problems. Battery is still good (no burns for me!) and 8gb is still enough for me to not get bored.

I try to be gentle with my portable electronics but life gets in the way. My wife was finally able to get me an ipod touch which was going to be a christmas present then it was pushed back to my birthday then she finally was able to get it and I baby it like crazy. I have a 2g nano that I got as a gift from her and that lasted a long time, even being smashed in the center console of the jeep denting the case around the screen. Couldn't figure out why the console wouldn't close:whistler:. Anyway I sent that through the washing machine and as long as its plugged in it will run with no problem. Some stuff is tough others I think you get the russian roulette in electronics and they can just go kaput without notice. Had 3 car stereos that went kaput all different brands just one after another in the span of a year.

It took many long hours in the sauna to finally kill my 40GB Creative Nomad Zen. I dropped it dozens of times, stepped on it a couple of times and got it wet in the shower and nothing ever happened. Of course they're about the size of a standard 3.5 hard drive and weigh as much as one from the 90's

Those Nomads were tough. We had to clear one out of the inventory at Circuit City to use for demos and seriously, if someone tried to rob you just pick that sucker up and smack them in the face with it. Was like holding a brick. We dropped that one so many times. I think one of the other sales guys got a good deal open box from the store manager when we finished the demos for it.

If one could be modded with an SSD instead it would be awesome
