ipod - not ipod touch is still a hard disk, and yeah they could go any time now... Taking them apart is usually quite straight forward, you can also get replacement batteries which would probably worth doing at the same time while you have it open. my 5th gen is still going strong thankfully, and I've made sure that it isn't the only copy of my music any longer. Ive opened older ipods to read the data off without much incident so I doubt the 5th gen and 6th gen will be much different.
