Its one of those things. Apple has sold millions of them, but you only ever
hear of the bad stories :-) It would be awesome if they were all perfect,
but they are not. Still the best MP3 player on the market!
<bitch on>
yeh I admit that I seem to be the one who scored the duds but hey
that seems to be my life at the moment with gadgets... litany of
problems like batteries lasting 15 minutes, hard disks that died
then the last "new" one never worked properly straight out of the box
(screen would not display information properly and the back light
was far to bright - actually hurt to look at it) maybe I was
somewhat abusive to the retailer and service guy when I took it back
a few hours later after it's first charge - they couldn't replicate
the problem (turned out to be intermittent) and few weeks later got
in to an argument when I went back when it was playing up again and
they say that I'd dropped it (showed me dent in metal around remote
jack) so damage not covered under warranty - but I hadn't even
plugged the remote in to it and knew I hadn't dropped it.

look or just a piece of good looking junk?
