Hi all, For what it is worth, I have been using a 2nd generation iPod for just on 18 months now.
It was originally purchased to take the place of a cd player we were using to play background music in our bed and breakfast property. We were finding that a standard cd player was not up to running for 15 hours per day. Repair costs were getting out of hand. We had already worn out a Bose cd unit and a Sony was also starting to give repeated problems. Enter the iPod. My estimate is that it has clocked up just over 8000 hours of use so far. The battery charger is attached to a timer to give 8 hours of charge every 24. What can I say - it just works and hasn't missed a beat in that time. Another Apple success story.
